How to Access Plan Versions and Comparison

The Versions tab of a plan, with the current version marked and its original filename and size

  3. Select Plan in the View drop-down.

View Plan Versions

The list shows every version of the plan, newest first, with its number and the date it was uploaded. The version your team works with is marked Current, and a version that is waiting for a decision carries its approval state next to its number, for example V1 Pending approval.

To view a plan version:

  1. Click the version.

Select Plan Versions

To view a different plan version:

  1. Select a version in the plan version drop-down

Navigate on the Plan

To navigate on the plan:

  1. Use drag and drop to move the visible section of the plan
  2. Use the mouse wheel or click the + and - buttons to zoom in and out

Show Ticket Pins

To show or hide ticket pins on the plan:

  1. Select or clear the Show tickets checkbox (cleared by default)

Delete an Old Version

You can remove versions you no longer need and free up plan quota.

To delete a version:

  1. Open the version history of the plan.
  2. Open the More menu on the version.
  3. Click Delete.
  4. Click Delete to confirm.

The current version cannot be deleted, and neither can a version that is waiting for approval. A deleted version stays in the list so the history stays readable, but it can no longer be opened or compared.

Which Version Is Current

As long as a plan has never needed approval, the newest version becomes the current one as soon as it is processed.

Once a plan has been through approval, the current version is the latest approved one. A version that is pending or rejected never becomes current — so if V2 was approved and V3 is still with the reviewer, your team keeps working with V2.

Compare Plan Versions

The comparison shows two plan versions side by side and highlights what changed. You can set the colour and opacity of the highlights, and both views are synchronised so you always look at the same area at the same zoom level.

To compare two plan versions:

  1. View a plan version (as described above)
  2. Click Compare versions
  3. Select the version that you want to compare with.
    The version selected in the viewer is greyed out as you will be comparing with this version.

Synchronised Navigation

By default, both plan views are synchronised when you Navigate on the Plan (as described above).

To allow separate navigation on both plan views:

  1. Clear the Synchronise plan views checkbox

Select Plan Versions

View and compare different plan versions:

  1. Select another version in the Plan version drop-downs

    0% opacity on the far left will hide the highlights.
