See what changed. Know what to do next.
Make every document decision clearer
Documents change through edits, approvals, template updates, and AI proposals. Tiptap Compare turns two document states into a structured change set, so your users can understand what changed in context and decide what happens next.

Every important change deserves a clear decision
Documents change in many ways. Tiptap Compare turns any two document states into a structured change set, so people can understand what changed and decide what happens next.
Compare versions and snapshots
Compare any two points in a document’s history, including the current draft and the last approved version. Give reviewers a focused change set instead of asking them to reread the entire document.
- Select any two snapshots
- Compare against the last approved version
- Generate approval-ready change sets
- Keep milestone history understandable
Catch drift between related documents
Compare templates, document instances, imports, and branches to identify missing sections, outdated language, or changes that need to be reconciled.
- Compare templates and live documents
- Check imports against a source document
- Identify drift across document branches
- Review structured blocks and custom content types
Review AI proposals before they land
Let AI create an alternative without overwriting the original. Compare the proposal with its source, show the difference in context, and keep the final decision with the user.
- Compare AI output with the source
- Present suggested changes in context
- Attribute the proposal to a human or AI source
- Send the proposal into Review when discussion or approval is needed
Attributed change history
See who changed what, add the context your workflow needs, and make contributions across people and AI easier to understand.
- Attribute changes to people or AI agents
- Add categories and metadata to changes
- Visualize complex document histories
- Keep change context connected to the document
Compare works with the structure of your document, including headings, lists, tables, formatting, and custom content types.
From two document states to one clear change set
Compare provides the document-aware layer between stored versions and the experience your users need to make a decision.
Choose the right baseline
Compare the document states that match the workflow: a snapshot, approved version, template, related document, or AI alternative.
Understand meaningful differences
Get a structured change set that shows what changed in context, not just a plain-text mismatch.
Put the decision where work happens
Render changes inline, side by side, or in a custom summary, then connect the actions and approval states your workflow needs.
Comparison patterns teams ship in production
Compare supports workflows where a document must stay aligned, accountable, and ready for a decision.
Approval comparisons
Show reviewers what changed since the last approved version, without asking them to reread the whole document.
Template and document alignment
Spot missing sections, stale language, and changes that need to return to the source template.
Generated document verification
Check generated contracts, reports, notices, or statements against their baseline before they go out.
Document change audits
Create a clear record of change between milestones for regulated content, policies, and quality processes.
AI proposal review
Show an AI rewrite, proofread, or update as a difference users can inspect before applying it.
Import and migration checks
Find content loss, formatting changes, or structural differences between an import and its source.
Human judgment, AI proposals, one comparable document
AI can draft an alternative quickly. Humans decide whether it belongs in the final document. Compare keeps both forms of change visible in the same document language.
Human-led comparison
People compare snapshots, drafts, templates, and documents before an approval or release.
- Inspect changes in context
- Verify the version against the right baseline
- Share a clear change set with stakeholders
- Keep decisions connected to the document
AI-assisted comparison
AI proposes an edit, rewrite, or generated alternative without silently overwriting the original.
- Compare the proposal against the source
- Show where AI changed content or structure
- Attribute the proposal and preserve its context
- Let humans accept, reject, or route changes for review
AI can propose the next version. Compare makes the difference reviewable. Humans decide what lands.
A comparison layer that fits your workflow
Compare is the difference engine in the Tiptap document platform. Use it on its own, or connect History, AI Toolkit, and Review when your workflow needs more.
Compare
Turn any two document states into a structured change set your product can render and act on.
Review
Use comments and tracked edits when a comparison becomes a discussion, a proposed revision, or a formal approval.
AI Toolkit
Give AI document-aware tools to create alternatives, then compare the output before users accept it.
Document History
Create reliable comparison points with snapshots and version history across the lifecycle of a document.

Frequently askedquestions
You can compare two document states, including history snapshots, versions, separate documents, templates and their instances, imported content, and AI-generated alternatives.
No. Compare is designed for structured Tiptap documents. It can reflect changes across document elements such as headings, lists, tables, formatting, and custom content types, so your product can present differences with meaningful context.
No. Compare identifies and represents the differences between two document states. Review adds collaboration primitives such as comments, tracked edits, attribution, and approval actions when people need to discuss or decide on those changes.
Yes. Use snapshots or saved document states as the baseline for a comparison. This is a common pattern for approvals, publishing, releases, and audit workflows.
Yes. Compare can help identify drift between a source template and a document instance, including missing, changed, or outdated sections.
Yes. AI Toolkit can create a proposed alternative, and Compare can present the difference against the source document. Your product can then let users accept, reject, discuss, or route that proposal into a review workflow.
Yes. Compare produces structured change information that you can render as inline differences, a split view, a summary, or a custom experience that matches your product and workflow.
Yes. Compare is intended for structured documents and can work with the custom content types and rules in your Tiptap schema.
