The Version Difference Report allows you to differentiate two versions of an entity. The Version Difference Report is the HTML report that describes the differences between the two versions of an entity where the checked-out version is considered the new version and the original version as the previous version.
The version difference report is available for the following entities in AVEVA Recipe Management: Capability, Equipment, Recipe Templates, Recipes, Formula Templates, and Formula.
Viewing the Version Difference Report
You can view the Version Difference Report for an entity by clicking the Version Differences icon available on the details page of the entity. The Version Differences icon will be available only if the entity version is greater than 1. The report is
initially generated with all of the details collapsed. Only the entity and version
numbers of the two entities are shown. You can expand all the sections, or only the
ones you want to see. To expand or collapse all sections use the down (expand) 
and up (collapse) 
arrows at the top of the screen.
To expand a certain section, click the down arrow beside the name of the section. After you expand the section, an up arrow is shown beside the section name.
The report is divided into three columns: Element (lists the headers, the element names and the keys of the objects which have been modified), Original Value, and New Value.
