Compare your most recent update of a customized widget against the previous version to check if your recent changes are causing issues on a portal page.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin or sp_admin

## About this task

The option to compare versions is available only for customized widgets that you
modified directly. There's no option to compare versions of a customized widget for
which you modified only the widget dependencies, Angular Providers, or
ng-templates.

There's no option to compare versions for new, cloned, or base system widgets.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to a portal page.
2. On the page, open the widget context menu by CTRL+right-clicking any widget.
3. On the widget context menu, click Show Widget Customizations.  
   Customized widgets are outlined in red.
4. On a customized widget, click the information icon (![Information icon]()).
5. On the window, click Compare with previous version.  
   The system displays the widget records of the current and previous widget
   versions side by side.

   Although both widget records are labeled Version, the
   left-side record represents the previous version and the right-side record
   represents the current version.
6. For each field in which it appears, click the window icon (![Window icon]()) to open the code comparator.  
   Your most recent changes to the widget code are highlighted in the code
   comparator.
