Only Admin & Supervisors can access this feature

During product development, there are often many changes made in the design, materials, or measurements sections of a techpack. Each time you make a change in the tech pack and save it, the version is recorded on Techpacker. You can compare different versions of the tech pack record to track any changes and avoid any unnecessary delays or miscommunications. 

Here are two easy ways to access this feature:

 

1. From your compare version icon

 Step 1: Click on the Doc view option as below:
