You can compare a version to the current version for any customizable object that a
user has modified, such as a form layout or business rule. You can also compare the local
and current pulled version of an object in Team Development. Administrators can suppress
versions for specific tables.

## About this task

To compare a version to the current version of an object:

## Procedure

1. Open the Compare to Current page using one of the methods given in the below table.

   | Option | Action |
   | From [a Versions list](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/CcVws4xJEAc7SCWLWGVqzg "There are a variety of methods for viewing a list of versions for an object.") | Right-click the version and select Compare to Current. |
   | From the Update Versions form | Click the Compare to Current related link. |

   | Option | Action |
   | To resolve the differences by choosing the previous version | * Team Development: Click Revert to Selected Version. * For a version of an object: Click Use Local Version to maintain the local record as the current version. The pulled version is added to the version history for the record. {#t_CompareToCurrentVersion__ul_sq2_l3v_vs} |
   | To resolve the differences by modifying the current version and saving the merged changes Note: Some types of record do not support this method. See [Limitations on updating records](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/y_fXYc0I80ZoMFMHxFgRRw "There are some types of records that you cannot merge while resolving differences on the Compare to Current and Resolve Collision pages.") for more information. | You can either update the setting in the current record or move a setting from the selected version to the current version. To move a change, click the \> (Move Right) button for the field in the diff/merge tool. To work with scripts and text fields, click in the field and modify the text as needed. When the records meet your needs, click: * Team Development: Click Save Merge to save the changes to the current version. * Team Development: Click Use Pulled Version or Use Local Version option to accept or reject all changes, as appropriate. * On the upgrade history Compare to Current form, the only option is Revert to Base System {#t_CompareToCurrentVersion__ul_vhn_224_ms} |
