![](https://651785290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnLYwCtfZtrK4s43AVzb4%2Fuploads%2FrhMVSlHWM1wn8n2lJVds%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=fdc421a5-d018-4bfe-9ae3-083a3daa9727)

When viewing a diff, you can filter by missing content, updated content, or new content. 

![](https://651785290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnLYwCtfZtrK4s43AVzb4%2Fuploads%2FM3fpC9GcsbHxgUDAoeoW%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=405e3678-3945-450f-a4c8-bc732d413c74)

When a content is "Updated,"To view the diff of that content, press the "View Details" button in the "Action" column for that content. 

![](https://651785290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnLYwCtfZtrK4s43AVzb4%2Fuploads%2FQMCAZFVoJTEwXjnVqoyL%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=d930fc32-1188-42a7-9bf0-6200fb75f0c5)

This will then open a drawer on the right which shows the fields of the content which were updated, and the differences for the updated content. 

![](https://651785290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnLYwCtfZtrK4s43AVzb4%2Fuploads%2F4aGNSLqzTOtCwqFan7I1%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=1acbf033-69a5-40ee-933e-ac38b28fbcae)

You can view the differences for each field by selecting it at the top of the drawer. 

![](https://651785290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnLYwCtfZtrK4s43AVzb4%2Fuploads%2FP7FcxGWCjlLbPXQzZnky%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=286ac018-9ff1-45e8-a451-65ea6bea5879)

![](https://651785290-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FnLYwCtfZtrK4s43AVzb4%2Fuploads%2FtBvLDamPwau19qG7tS3m%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=db418a08-b408-4a58-9bee-2587e51ad2ab)

***Note***: Diff reports will only show diffs for **main content**. That is content which is directly picked up and is not a dependency. i.e., the content type value for the dotCMS job option `Contenttype`

***Note**:* Diff reports will only work if the destination endpoint uses a level 3 connector (source and destination) and has both source and destination config. If the endpoint is level 3 and does not have both source and destination config, the diff report will not show a difference. 

***Note***: Diff reports do not diff for relationships. This includes relationships between content and relationships between content and files. e.g., Motation field type `Relationship` or `File`  

### Show More Details
