Reviewing changes between file versions

You can review changes made between file versions. The latest file version in the code review is compared to the version before the oldest version in the review. For example, if versions 3, 6, and 8 are in the review, differences between versions 2 and 8 are displayed.

Note: If version 1 is in the review, only the contents of the latest version in the review are displayed. For example, if versions 1 and 4 are in the review, only version 4 is displayed. See Reviewing files.
