About this task
The option to compare versions is available only for customized widgets that you modified directly. There's no option to compare versions of a customized widget for which you modified only the widget dependencies, Angular Providers, or ng-templates.
There's no option to compare versions for new, cloned, or base system widgets.
Procedure
Navigate to a portal page.
On the page, open the widget context menu by CTRL+right-clicking any widget.
On the widget context menu, click Show Widget Customizations.
Customized widgets are outlined in red.
On a customized widget, click the information icon (
Information icon\).
On the window, click Compare with previous version.
The system displays the widget records of the current and previous widget versions side by side.

- For each field in which it appears, click the window icon (
Window icon\) to open the code comparator.
