Description
Also reported to the workspaces team http://forge.typo3.org/issues/11539
I don't know whether this is "by design" or a bug:
Is it really not possible anymore to view the workspace version and the live version of a page together? for me it's just possible to see the top area of the workspace version and the bottom area of the live version but I want to see the same area from both pages.

If I got this issue right, it was planed like that.
But maybe you could be a bit more precise and
supply some more details. Se we could under-
stand your worries a bit better :)
What would be your solution for that?
#2 Updated by Susanne Moog over 4 years ago
Ok, I'll try to make myself a bit clearer:
My problem is that if I change some part of my webpage I want to see in the comparison view how it looked before and how it looks now. The way the comparison view is implemented I can see the changed part of the website either before or after but not simultaneously next to each other.
ASCII art try:Now
______________________________________
| top part of page in workspace mode |
| ______________________________________ |
|---|
| bottom part of page in live mode |
| ______________________________________ |
How to compare the same part in both modes?
How would I solve it:______________________________________
| top part of page in workspace mode sb | |
| ______________________________________ | |
|---|---|
| top part of page in live mode sb | |
| ______________________________________ |
sb = scrollbar
so you always see the same part of the page and have synchronized scrollbars for live and workspace view.
is this clearer? (maybe ascii art isn't that good an idea .. try to do a screenshot later)

Via Skype we decided (for this first release) to keep it like it is right now.
For the future we would wish to have:
4 ways of comparison:
- Horizontal overlay (via Horizontal slider) << like it is right now
- Vertical overlay (via Horizontal slider)
- Opacity overlay (via Horizontal slider)
- Horizontal Split view 50% Top / 50% Bottom
This could be set:
- Via a context Menu beside the Slider UI
- Via User Settings (TS)
- Via Global TS for a installation
Would be very helpful if someone who dislike the current approach
would help out and continuing the existing development by creating
the planned roadmap steps, as suggested here. :) Susanne?

- Status changed from New to Needs Feedback
Hi Jens & Susanne,
I also heard that issue Susanne had from Steffen. I totally love the actual solution as Jens had the idea in Stuttgart (not only from usability standpoint - but also how it's technically implemented - cool work guys - I don't know any CMS that has such a "cool"-feeling-feature), but I do understand Susanne as a power-user (which I am not in "workspaces" until today), that she wants to have a view, where she can compare two states of a website comfortably on a big screen next to each other, without having the need to push a slider over an over again, simply to see the differences.
What Jens posted above sounds very reasonable (I had the very same idea with Steffen some days ago). The user should simply be able to choose the preferred view via a small menu (icons, dropdown, whatever) next to the slider (the slider only appears in sliding-compare-views where it makes sense to have) - the other two should be 50%/50% horizontally or 50%/50% vertically (for big screens to have two pages side by side)?
Good suggestion Susanne! Reasonable solution Jens! :)
Love it... =)

Thanks for the feedback - we're going to implement the suggestions Jens brought up. I think it's fine to close this issue.
