Compare historical versions of a SNOMED CT concept

Steps
References

With the desired focus concept in the Concept Details panel, press on the Perspective button in the header bar to see a drop-down options list of available perspectives:

  • Full

  • Comparing

  • Comparing hierarchy

  • Responsive (tablets, phones)

Select Comparing to switch the presentation to Perspective: Comparing.

Perspective: Comparing maintains the browser header bar, but changes to show two side-by-side Concept Details panels, with a full-width Search panel below them.

When invoked with a concept already in the Perspective: Full Concept Details panel, the focus concept will be preserved in both Perspective: Comparing Concept Details panels.</br />

Panel sizes can be adjusted

The relative sizes of the three panels can be adjusted by pressing and dragging their gray border bars.

When comparing historical versions, it is useful to reduce the Search panel height once concepts are loaded for comparison, as shown in the adjacent screenshot.

With the same focus concept in each Concept Details panel, use their History context tab to change their content to a historical version, as described in View the history of a SNOMED CT concept.

The two Concept Details context tabs can now be used to independently select alternative versions from the concept history, so that they can be compared side-by-side.

Once done with comparisons, select Full in the header bar Perspective button drop-down options list to switch back to Perspective: Full.

The comparison focus concept will be retained in the Perspective: Full Concept Details panel, however, it will be reset to the latest published version.
