Why Version Story?

Redlining made easy

Whether you're comparing two documents or ten, Version Story makes redlining easy by showing you changes as a relationship between versions.

In Version Story, you simply draw a line between to versions to create a redline.

Older redlining tools are disorienting. They make you poke around your folders to track down the documents you want to compare. They often don’t even show you the full name of the documents. Sometimes after running the redline, you realize you compared the wrong document, and you have to start all over again.

And at the end, all you have is a redline document. By itself, this document doesn’t tell you much at all about where it came from, or what happened before or after. All that effort you went through to track down the correct original and modified versions to compare? Poof! It’s gone.

It’s up to you to try and preserve some of this context by renaming the redline or saving it down in a folder somewhere near the other documents.

You can easily arrange versions and compare them. If needed, you can rearrange them and compare again.

Version Story makes all these problems go away. You won’t be punished for not getting it right the first time. You can compare documents, check the redline, and rearrange them if needed. Once you have it right, you can export the redline in Word or PDF and do with it what you normally would.

Version Story preserves the work you do to locate, identify, and compare the correct original and modified documents. It doesn’t just disappear. It becomes a resource that you can revisit for future reference. And you can go back and add further drafts, so you can view redlines in the context of the documents compared, and also in the context of the matter as a whole.
