Is it possible two compare XML files of two different editions using Trados?

I have XML files of two different editions of a book, and I would like to run a quick assessment with the aim of knowing the number of changes within the chapters.

    I guess the easiest way is this:

    1. create a project with the first XML file
    2. copy source to target
    3. update to a new TM
    4. add the new XML file to your project and analyse it against the TM to find the number of changes
    5. pre-translate it to look at where the changes are based on the match values
    6. use the display filter to find the segments that are not 100% matches

    Would that help?

    You could also use Post-Edit Compare to run an html report of only the segments that are not 100% matches and that might also be helpful.
