Identify customizations to a widget so that you can revert your cloned or customized widgets and resolve issues on a portal page.

## Before you begin

Role required: sp_admin or admin

## About this task

If a widget is cloned from another cloned widget, both clones are compared against the base widget.

## 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, select Show Widget Customizations.  
   Customized widgets are outlined in red. Cloned widgets are outlined in yellow.
4. On any customized or cloned widget, select the information icon (![Information icon]()).
5. From the Widget Diagnostics dialog box, select Compare with base widget.  
   The system displays the widget records of the base widget and cloned or customized widgets side by side.  
   Note:  
   The left-side record represents the base widget and the right-side record represents the cloned or customized widget.
6. For each field in which it appears, select the window icon (![Window icon]()) to open the code comparator.  
   Differences between the code of the customized or cloned widget and base widget versions are highlighted.  
   Note:  
   The left-side record represents the base widget and the right-side record represents the cloned or customized widget.
