Available to customers subscribed to both BoostDraft Compare and BoostDraft AI.

• PDF and PowerPoint files are now supported by AI Compare, in addition to Word documents.

• Word-vs-Word merged comparisons can now be viewed in BoostDraft Compare Viewer, with a side panel listing comment differences.

• Modified images in a merged comparison are now displayed as an original-vs-revised split box with clear labels.

• A new "Detect Row Shift" option treats a row that has only changed position as unchanged, rather than flagging it as deleted and re-inserted. This option applies to merged comparisons only.

• The save location and file name for a comparison chart can now be specified in advance, consistent with saving a comparison result; the file name defaults to the name of the compared files.

• Change highlights are now shown correctly on slides in merged comparison results.

• Comparisons between Word and PDF files are now more stable.

• Comparisons with password-protected PDF files are now more stable.

• Comparisons of Japanese .xls files containing furigana (phonetic) text are now more reliable.

• Comparisons of Excel files with hyperlinks near inserted rows or columns are now more reliable.

• Localized pivot table captions (e.g., Japanese, Korean) are no longer reset to English in comparison results.

• Selecting a sheet in a password-protected Excel file now prompts for the password as expected, and the prompt appears only when required.

• Saving the result of a Word-vs-Word merged comparison is now more reliable.

• The password entry dialog for protected files now appears correctly.

• The detailed compare settings button is now available only after files have been selected.

• Stability has improved when selecting or dragging an Original document, including when the version database is unavailable.
