This article will show you how to start comparisons by selecting documents from iManage, and also how to save these comparison exports as outputs to iManage. 

## Selecting a document from iManage to start a comparison 

<Steps>
  <Step>
    In the New Comparison window, click the **iManage** option.

    Navigate to your desired matter location and click on the document you wish to load. If you would like to load a specific **version** of a document, first click on the **"i"** located at the top right where it is highlighted in the image below. Otherwise, if you just want to load the document as is, simply ensure it is highlighted and click on **select** and skip to step 4.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Once the comparison is ready, you will see the comparison window appear

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/draftable/Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22/images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-158.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22&q=85&s=01d71582d99a08137b7aff9fb01b3060" alt="" width="1207" height="762" data-path="images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-158.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step>
    You can select the "Save to DMS"  on the top ribbon in the comparison window. From here you have three options

    1. **Save to iManage (as a new file):** When saving to iManage, this will create a new document in an existing matter.

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/draftable/Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22/images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-159.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22&q=85&s=c2b8b8ba6be9efd4d59f48a8701f3e85" alt="" width="1207" height="761" data-path="images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-159.png" />
    </Frame>

    2. **Save to iManage (as a new version):** When saving to iManage, this will create a new version of an existing document within iManage.

      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/draftable/Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22/images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-160.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22&q=85&s=dc1ed0c20e04d1e79eb01939aa2a18ea" alt="" width="1207" height="762" data-path="images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-160.png" />
    </Frame>

    3. **Save to iManage (as a new related file):** When saving to iManage, this will create a new document within iManage but also create a link to an existing document within iManage.

    <Frame>
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/draftable/Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22/images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-161.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Pg-E7dA4TAHHTM22&q=85&s=e8ace0212338abebf930d1d4757f687f" alt="" width="1207" height="762" data-path="images/using-draftable-legal-with-iManage/image-161.png" />
    </Frame>

    Additionally, you have the choice of 5 different comparison output types as well:

    **Redline (.pdf or .docx):** A Redline output is a document comparison output that highlights the differences between two documents using coloured markup, making it easy to identify added, removed, or modified content at a glance.

    **Changed Pages Only (.pdf):** A Changed Pages Only Redline PDF is a document comparison output that only includes pages with differences between the two documents, highlighting the modifications using colored markup for a focused review of altered content.

    **Track Changes (.docx):** A Word document with Tracked Changes is a version of your document that displays all insertions, deletions, and formatting adjustments made, using Microsoft Word's built-in feature that allows you to review, accept, or reject the modifications individually.

    **Changes Report (.docx or .csv):** A Changes Report is a document listing all the changes detected within the comparison. You can choose to include all changes or only changes matching your current Change List filters. Tags and notes applied to changes are included in the report. To learn more, see [Emailing comparison outputs](/hc/en-us/articles/16115297005849-Emailing-comparison-outputs).

    **Departures Table (.docx):** A Departures Table is a structured, clause-by-clause summary of all changes detected between two versions of a document. Rather than showing changes inline like a traditional redline, it organizes each change into a table row under its relevant clause or subclause heading. You can choose to include all changes or only changes matching your current filters. To learn more, see [Understanding and using the Departures Table](/hc/en-us/articles/51552545500569-Understanding-and-Using-the-Departures-Table).

  <Step>
    If you selected **Save to iManage (as a new file)** An iManage window will appear for you to select the save location. Use the location of your choice and save the export

  </Step>

  <Step>
    However, if you selected **Save to iManage (as a new version)** An iManage window will appear for you to select an existing document to save as the new version, and select the document you wish to create a new version of and click **select.**
