When you review a new version of a file, you no longer have to read the full scan output from scratch. The Versions panel shows a version comparison that highlights what changed in the scan results since the previous version, so you can focus your review on what is actually different.
This is especially useful during approval flows, where you want to confirm that previously flagged issues were addressed and check whether the revision introduced anything new.
How It Works
When a file has more than one version, the Versions panel compares the scan of one version against the scan of the version before it and summarizes the differences in a What changed section. A short summary (marked AI summary when Warrant's AI wrote it) and the change in compliance score appear first. Each flag is then grouped so you can see at a glance what changed:
Resolved – Flags that were present in the previous version and no longer appear in the current one
New – Flags that appear in the current version but were not in the previous one
Unchanged – Flags that are present in both versions
This lets you concentrate on the resolved and new items rather than re-reading the entire scan report.
View the Version Comparison
Open the file in the File Viewer
Click Versions in the right-hand toolbar
The What changed section compares the two most recent versions (for example, v2 → v3). To compare an earlier pair, choose it from the selector next to the section title
From here you can review only what changed since the last version.
First Scan or No Previous Version
If the file has only one version, there is nothing to compare and the panel prompts you to upload a new version. If either version in the pair has no completed scan yet, the panel tells you which one, for example "v3 has no completed scan to compare". Run a scan on that version from the Scan panel to see the comparison.
Which Versions Are Compared
The comparison is between consecutive uploaded versions of the file, using the latest completed scan of each. A scan that is still running does not replace the comparison, so you are always comparing finished results.
Why This Helps
Reviewing changes instead of the full report speeds up review cycles and reduces back-and-forth between reviewers and content owners. It also creates a clearer record of how content improved from one version to the next, which supports your audit trail across the approval process.
