How to View, Comment and Compare a IUCLID file

Tip

Active Steward has an IUCLID Comparison tool which is used to side-by-side view two IUCLID files. The viewer will highlight the differences. Usually, users are comparing a current version to a previous one. Users are also able to comment on parts of the IUCLID file to make notes on changes that have been made.
