Current work
Structured-document change review
Problem
Authors and reviewers needed to understand changes in rich, structured documents without comparing versions by hand, losing their place or breaking the document’s reading flow.
My role
I designed and built the comparison experience, turning raw change data into additions, removals and edits that reviewers could scan in context. We tested it first across product teams, then with the wider company.
Hard part
Fine-grained matching made small edits easy to follow but confused larger changes. I paired detailed comparisons with explicit replacement states, preferring an honest result to a misleading match. The interface also had to preserve the document’s reading flow as those states changed.
Result and scale
Reviewers could scan and judge changes without leaving the document. Early monitoring showed that reviews finished faster and that people used the review workflow more often.
