- **Track Changes**
    - Here is where you can compare different versions/edits of the translation (please note that this feature requires activation on job level and thus may not always be available).
    - A backup or milestone will be shown together with date/time information and what type of Job it was linked to. Together, they provide context for the version so you know what you are comparing to.
