The Revision Changes panel will contain a list of all detected additions, removals, or modifications. Click an item in the list to move the see the exact region in the plan. Toggle the overlay switch for any given page to see an overlay of the matching page from the previous version

## Overlays

<Columns cols={2}>
  <Column>
    Overlay any page over another using the new Page overlays section inside the Layers dropdown.

    Select your base page from the current version, and the overlay target from either the current or the previous version.

    Then, select the Blend mode:

    * `Difference` produces a color treatment such that "new" content from the current version appears blue, "removed" content from the previous version appears red, and "unchanged" content appears white/black (depending on light/dark mode).
    * `Solid` produces a solid overlay with no color change. Useful when wanting to compare architectural pages to mechanical, for example.
