Comparing rich texts

While most updates to content items are expected to affect rich text properties changes within these values are particularly difficult to spot. This is why the rich text fields in the comparison view provide a detailed change highlighting. Additions (1), removals (2) and formatting changes (3) within the rich text are all highlighted individually.
