FAQ's
Q1: What is a Comparative Final?
A Comparative Final is a finalized document that shows tracked changes (redlines) compared to a previous version. It's commonly used to highlight what has changed during a review or negotiation process.
Q2: Can I create a Comparative Final in Catina?
No. Catina currently does not support the Comparative Final feature. You will need to use ACD5 to generate one if you still have access.
Q3: Will Catina support Comparative Final in the future?
This feature is not currently available in Catina. We recommend using ACD5 for Comparative Finals while access is still available.
