Restore supported changes in a comparison
Restore supported wording and formatting changes, or a complete original table where structural checks allow it.
A comparison can detect a change even when that change cannot be restored automatically. The review controls distinguish supported decisions from items that require manual work. Start with the original and revised DOCX files in Revision comparison.
Which changes can be restored?
| Change | Restoration behavior |
|---|---|
| Supported wording edits, insertions, deletions and moves | Rejecting restores original wording, removes an insertion or restores deleted text as appropriate. |
| Section settings | Supported page size, margin, column and section-break properties can be restored when corresponding sections still match. |
| Table, row and cell presentation | Supported width, alignment, border, shading, margin, row-height, repeated-header and wrapping properties can be restored when the table grid, nesting and merges match. Revised cell text is preserved. |
| Paragraph and text-run formatting | Selected indentation, spacing, tab stops, keep-together settings, borders, alignment, font family, size, bold, italic, colour, highlight and other direct properties can be restored when paragraph content and run boundaries still match exactly. |
| Whole-table structure | Changed rows, columns or merges can be restored by replacing a supported table with its complete original, including wording. This requires matching package dependencies and unambiguous text. Other decisions inside that table are superseded. |
| Unsupported structure | Table or section insertion/removal, referenced objects, changed dependencies and ambiguous structure remain for manual review. Detection alone does not make a change reversible. |
Decisions and downloads
- Review focus, categories, search and decision filters narrow the visible list; they do not change the full comparison. Structure focuses on presentation and document structure.
- Each item shows its location and the property being changed. For example, a cell-shading change can be rejected while the revised sentence in that cell is kept.
- Retain displayed supported changes and Reject displayed supported changes apply to eligible items in the filtered list; unsupported items are excluded. Undo last group decision restores the preceding decision set.
- Revised document applies rejections without wording revision marks. Word with tracked changes includes supported wording revisions for Word review. Both downloads use the complete decision set, including decisions hidden by filters.
- Check the restored properties and the accepted wording in the exported file, and resolve items marked for manual review there.
Restoration boundaries
Table presentation restoration covers the main document body, including nested tables. That property workflow preserves revised cell wording. The separate whole-table control can replace an entire top-level body table with its original structure and wording when checks permit; it does not restore inserted or deleted tables. Section, table and text-property decisions are applied directly to both Word downloads; they are not native Word formatting revision marks.
If the underlying structure or property values have changed since comparison, create a fresh comparison before exporting. The original file is needed to restore its property values.
Download displayed review report creates an HTML report that can be printed or saved as PDF from a browser. It is a report of selected changes, not native PDF comparison or a rebuilt document.
