>Normal Method: Open two documents at the same time, look through to work out what the differences are.
I don't think non-programmers are all manually comparing documents. In Microsoft Word, people can use any of the following methods:
- "Track Changes" when they edit
- use Word's compare documents feature
- view Previous Versions on Word Wep App
- Use Sharepoint (if they're in a large company).
I agree that version control is still an issue, but it's not like nothing exists yet. I think Microsoft or Google will probably be able to improve their version-control/collaboration tools though, so it might be hard for a third-party to beat them.
