**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** When you open the version history of a page, it’s difficult to see the exact differences when you don’t have the current document side by side for comparison. **Describe the solution you’d like** Be able to open the version history in a different window, so is possible to visually compare side by side the version history with the current one. ---

Id use a split view, but yeah, nice suggestion ---

I think there are a lot of improvements that can be made to history view in general. But I do think it would be ideal to have it in a different window or something. I want version comparison features with highlighting though… Probably deserves its own post. ---

@Oshyan I was thinking in a more simple approach, but I agree highlighting in a git way could be the best way to do this. ---

@Vova github style would be ideal. ---

Related: > [@Show version history changes visually](https://community.anytype.io/t/github-like-version-history/2432): > > problem Version history in Github is useful. We can see what are added and what are deleted at a glance. The problem with Anytype version history is that it does not show you any changes visually. solution Github like version control. Showing replaced and removed as red and Added as green
