How to View, Comment and Compare IUCLID files

Tip

Active Steward has an IUCLID Viewing tool used to open and read IUCLID files inside the system. You can either view an uploaded IUCLID file or view a linked "live" IUCLID file.
Active Steward also has an IUCLID Comparison tool which is used to side-by-side view two IUCLID files. The viewer will highlight the differences between files. Usually users are comparing a current version to a previous one.
Using these tools, users are also able to leave comments.
