## LexWorkplace Compare Options

LexWorkplace allows you to compare documents in two different ways:

| Method | Description | Requirement |

| Inline Compare | Compare documents side-by-side, right in LexWorkplace | LexWorkplace Advanced subscription |
| Litera Compare Integration | Send documents to Litera Compare from LexWorkplace (Integration) | LexWorkplace Advanced subscription + Litera Compare Desktop |

## Introduction to Litera Compare

[Litera Compare](https://www.litera.com/products/litera-compare) is long-standing third-party document comparison software, often favored and used by lawyers. You can use Litera Compare to compare many different types of documents, including Microsoft Word and PDF documents, just to name a few. Litera Compare *desktop* is Litera’s most robust and most commonly used edition and is the edition that integrates with LexWorkplace.

If your firm uses (or plans to use) Litera Compare, you can use it side-by-side with LexWorkplace, as outlined here.

> 
> Litera Compare Desktop (Latest Version)

With this integration, you can select any two documents in LexWorkplace, or two different versions of the same document, and compare them side-by-side in Litera Compare Desktop.

#### How it Works

To compare two documents from LexWorkplace in Litera Compare, simply navigate to the first document in LexWorkplace, click the three-dot menu, then click *Compare in Litera*. Then, navigate to the second document that you wish to compare, and again click the three-dot menu, then *Compare in Litera*.

> You can also follow the same steps in the Versions table of a single document to compare two versions of the same document

LexWorkplace will then hand the two documents directly to Litera Compare, which will open on your desktop, ready to work with the two documents. From here you can perform any routine operations within the Litera Compare Desktop application.

You can also save the output file (merged/redline) as a new document in LexWorkplace or as a new version to an existing document in LexWorkplace, via LexWorkplace for Office (the Office add-in).
