Possible to check differences through a web interface?
« on: January 22, 2026, 08:36:22 pm »
The Sparx client has tools for letting the user review changes and differences between two versions of a model; for example the current model and a baseline version.
Will someone who doesn't have the client, but just the web interfaces WebEA or ProLaborate, be able to do something similar? And if so, how?

No, that requires the actual client.

Just as I suspected. Thanks for answering, Geert.

Hi Mikael, kind of late to respond, but I wanted to add that Prolaborate has a Versions Explorer mechanism which can be used to show the different versions of your EA model for Prolaborate users.

https://prolaborate.sparxsystems.com/resources/v5-documentation/version-explorer

The caveat is that it requires each version of the model to be maintained in its own separate repository. Not sure if it fits your use case, but figured it was worth mentioning.

Nabil,

Have you really tried to use that feature in the real world?
In my experience, clients who purchase Prolaborate are larger organizations that generally use a central database
They can't be creating a new repository for each "version" of each diagram.

For me this is a pure "sales" feature. It looks good in a demo, but it utterly useless in the real world.
