OpenAI now lets some ChatGPT users check changes to text or code on the Canvas feature, something developers have been asking for.
ChatGPT’s Canvas feature allows users to edit the chatbot’s responses on the app rather than copying and pasting them to a separate document.
However, when Canvas launched in early October for its paid tiers, it didn’t let people see what changes GPT-4o made to its responses. OpenAI’s latest update to the feature corrects that.
The show changes button will show the most recent changes to either the generated text or code on Canvas. It will highlight added information in green and deleted sections in red.
Tracking changes has always been a good feature of any editing platform; Google Docs and Word documents offer a toggle for users to check what’s been changed. But OpenAI had been planning to roll out updates to Canvas slowly as ChatGPT subscribers get used to it.
