Document Difference Viewer Improvements
under review
Max P
The "Document Difference Viewer" that displays when comparing article versions could use some improvements. Currently, I have to copy and paste each version into a third-party editor to properly compare versions.
The red that is used to highlight changes does not have sufficient contrast for WCAG certification.
For the "Code diff" section, when comparing pages made using the Markdown editor, it would be nice to display the text of each version in numbered lines (like in github, vscode, etc.) to make comparing between versions easier.
Other UI improvements that could significantly improve the UX would be navigation that allows you to easily scroll between each difference ("Next difference ->", "<- previous difference", etc.), a search bar, and a toggle that allows you to scroll both versions at the same time (instead of independently)
Thanks!

Is there any update on this? The Difference Viewer is frankly not a useful tool as it exists. Very often the entire new version of the article is lit up solid green because of formatting changes that the user didn't even intend to make.

Max P thanks for the suggestion, we will have this evaluated.
Joshua Bulleid we accept / reject changes can be accomplished through the track changes option which is one of the functions for collaborative editing. We will keep you posted for updates on this.

Some kind of accept/reject changes function would also be greatly appreciated.
