# Document Comparison using UI

1. [Step By Step Process](#id-1.-step-by-step-process)
2. [Demo Video](#id-2.-demo-video)

## 1. Step By Step Process

We can now compare VC and VP documents.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Documents can only be compared of published policies.**
{% endhint %}

All dialogs displaying documents provide means to add the current document into the ‘diff basket’ - the list of documents for comparison.

If the ‘diff basket’ of documents is not empty then a corresponding icon with a count will be displayed in the menu bar of Guardian UI. From the drop-down menu displayed upon clicking on this icon users can select document and execute the comparison.

When documents are compared the entire chain of linked documents is compared along with its contents.
