Compare two versions of a project in Project 2007

You can use the Compare Project Versions utility to review differences between the current version and an earlier version of the same project in a detailed report.

1. On the Compare Project Versions toolbar, click Compare Project Versions .
If the toolbar is not displayed, on the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Compare Project Versions.

2. Under Choose the project versions you want to compare, in the Project version 1 (earlier version) and Project version 2 (later version) boxes, click the versions that you want to compare.
To locate project versions, click Browse.

3. Under Choose the tables to be used in the comparison, in the Task Table and Resource Table lists, click the tables that contain the data that you want to compare.
If you don't want to compare tasks or resources, click None.

4. Click OK.
For purposes of comparison and reporting only, a temporary project is created to display the tasks and resources of the two versions.

5. To keep the report for future reference, click Save on the File menu.

Hope you enjoy this new feature in Project 2007.
