Compare extracted attribute values between two documents to identify differences in key information.
Use document comparison to validate changes between versions, confirm that extracted values align, or identify discrepancies across related documents.
Before you begin
Make sure:
- You can access the collection that contains the documents.
- Both documents have finished processing.
- Attribute extraction is complete.
Compare two documents
Document comparison uses a three-step workflow:
- Select documents.
- Select attributes.
- Review the comparison.
Select documents
Select one or two documents.
- If you select one document, select Compare documents, and then choose the second document.
- If you select two documents, select the Compare documents icon from the actions above the document list, and go ahead to step 4.
Select Next.
You can compare a maximum of two different documents from the same collection.
Select attributes
Expand an attribute group.
Select one or more attributes to compare.
At least one attribute is required.
Select Compare documents.
Review the comparison
The results display:
- Attribute name
- Value from the first document
- Value from the second document
- Match or No Match status
No Match results appear first so you can review differences quickly.
Select a citation to open the source location for an extracted value in either document.
Comparing documents does not modify either document or the collection.
How Analyzer determines a match
Analyzer normalizes extracted values before comparing them.
It then evaluates values using:
- Exact string matching
- Exact numeric matching
- Exact date matching using ISO-formatted dates
If the values do not meet the applicable matching criteria, Analyzer returns No Match.
Export comparison results
Select the Export icon in the comparison results to download the results as a CSV file.
When to compare documents
Use document comparison to:
- Validate a signed agreement against an approved version.
- Review differences between document versions.
- Confirm extracted values before using them for filtering or analysis.
- Identify discrepancies in important document data.
