About this task

The option to compare a widget against the base system version is available only for customized widgets. There's no option to compare a cloned widget against the widget that you cloned it from.

Procedure

1. Navigate to a portal page.
2. On the page, open the widget context menu by CTRL+right-clicking any widget.
3. On the widget context menu, click Show Widget Customizations.
   Customized widgets are outlined in red.
4. On any customized widget, click the information icon ().
5. On the window, click Compare with Base system widget.

   The system displays the widget records of the base system and customized widgets side by side.

   Note:

   Although both widget records are labeled Version, the left-side record represents the base system widget and the right-side record represents the customized widget.

   

6. For each field in which it appears, click the window icon () to open the code comparator.

   Differences between the code of current and previous widget versions are highlighted.
