# Document Comparison using UI

Now, we have a capability to compare VC and VP documents.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Documents can only be compared of published policies
{% endhint %}

All dialogs displaying documents provide mean to add the current document into the ‘diff basket’ - the list of documents for comparison as shown below:

If the ‘diff basket’ of documents is not empty a corresponding icon with a count will be displayed in the menu bar of Guardian UI.&#x20;

From the drop-down menu displayed upon clicking on this icon users can select document and execute the comparison.

When documents are compared the entire chain of linked documents is compared. It also includes the content of these documents.
