Good way to compare versions of a publication?

Question

I want to get a report on the differences between one version of a publication and another version of the same publication. The idea is to get a list of the topics that have changed, so we can tell the user where to look. It does not seem to work to select a version and do Object > Compare in Publication Manager. 
 I have used ISHRemote quite a bit and I figured there is something in there I can use to do this comparison. Any ideas? 
 Using Tridion Docs 14, ISHRemote 0.13.0. 
 Thanks, 
 Mark

Hi Mark, This functionality is available in the Tridion Docs webclient. In the repository view you have a report option on the version level of the publication where you can run this type of overview. Steps: 
 1/ Logon to the Tridion Docs webclient 2/ Navigate towards the repository tabsheet 3/ Select the publication version from which you would like to trigger the comparison 4/ Click the 'reports' button (on the version level buttonbar) 5/ Select the version to be compared against in the dropdown with the label 'Compare current version with version' 6/ Click the 'Ok' button 
 This will generate the overview marking which topics have been changed/added or deleted. If you want to rebuild this in ISHRemote you can do so by: 1/ Query for the baseline of the current publication version 2/ Query for the baseline of the publication version be compare with 3/ Compare both baselines in memory identifying the changes/additions and deletions 4/ Report out on the finding of step 3 Kind Regards, Raf
