Compare folders for differences

asked on June 1, 2016

Hi everyone,

 

I've searched for an answer across the board.  I would prefer to complete this task within the repository (Advanced search).  I need to compare 2 different folders, i.e. (CC- Construction Contracts) for differences.  The one folder was created via WF of the original.  The original was organized differently.  Each construction contract was a subfolder of a company folder.  Therefore, to set up a new structure with all Construction Contracts in one folder and each company as a subfolder containing all of their construction contracts, a WF was created to compile these folders.  The resulting search count of the original is 50 more than the new.  I'd like to see/report the differences before deleting the original.  Has anyone done this in the advanced search?

How do you tell if a document matches? Is based solely on the name? Parts of the path? Template? If the document count in a "construction contract" subfolder matches between the 2 main folders, do you still have to review the docs in it?

/Hi Miruna,

 

Because the new folder structure was built based upon the original folders with WF, yes they are the same folders.  I do not need to review the docs in the folders because I can see the modified by account and date.  It leads me to know the one person that does work in the main folder hasn't modified the contents, and I know they have been out of the office for a few days.
