You can quickly rerun a comparison using the same files and options as a previous comparison. You can also change the files and the comparison options. For example, after running a comparison, you may notice that there are a lot of font changes that aren’t important and are cluttering up the results. You could rerun the comparison and exclude font changes.


  1. Open the results for the comparison you want to rerun. For details, see View Comparison Results.

  2. Click Re-run Compare in the top toolbar. The Compare window opens with the same files and comparison options as the original comparison. 

  3. Change the files and comparison options as needed. For details, see Compare Files.

  4. Click Compare. You’ll see a notification that the comparison is running. You can continue working in Blue Relay while you wait for the comparison to be completed.

    • If you ran a one-to-one comparison (with only one file on each side), the results will open when the comparison is complete.
    • If you ran a one-to-many comparison (with multiple files or versions on one side), you’ll receive a notification when the comparison is complete. You can click the notification to open one of the comparison results.
    • If there are no differences between the compared files, you’ll see a message stating that the documents are equal. This message is saved in the comparison results.


Comparison results are saved in the Versions panel for each file included in the comparison. For details, see View Comparison Results.
