Diff Tool to compare two emails - Test vs Control
Closed, ResolvedPublicFeature

Description

I would like to be able to compare two emails or websites, created in Acoustic, and have the tool highlight the differences between the two creatives. Ideally it would compare not just text but imagery two and show where the differences are.

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

What I am hoping is that when Acoustic creates a "View Online" version of the email we can cut and paste the two urls into this tool and it would show me a representation of the two emails side by side - similar to how the Diff Tool works for banners.

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):
Similar to how the banners team uses the Diff tool to easily represent control vs test in reporting it would be great do this in email and in donation forms as well.

Event Timeline

Is this a request for a tool within Acoustic to compare two emails/drafts?

Does but need to be within acoustic. My thought is when Acoustic generates
a "view online" link we can compare two html pages

Just covering our bases here: Have you reached out to Acoustic to ask if this is a feature they can provide?

I have reached out to Brian at Trilogy and he confirmed that it is not
available.

Looks like my new contractor may have found a solution to this. I would
like to host this on a wikimedia.org page.

I'm glad you have something you can use for now to do the diff'ing!

For now though, given you have a temporary solution and the fact that moving this tool to our infrastructure needs a full review I'm going to say we can get to that part in the new year/after end of year fundraising.
