How to compare/review changes between documents

Learn how to compare different versions of your FounderCatalyst documents to identify changes. This guide shows you how to use Microsoft Word's document comparison feature to quickly review amendments between two versions of a PDF.

As a shortcut to reviewing changes between documents:

  • Download the initial version of the document in PDF format.
  • Make the relevant changes on the platform.
  • Again, download the amended version of the document, again in PDF format.
  • Load both PDF's in Microsoft Word.
  • Save both documents in .docx format.
  • Close both documents.
  • Then use the Word menu item: Tools -> Track Changes -> Compare Document
  • Point this at both of the Word documents you’ve just converted.

You can then see the changes between the two documents.
