Summary

  • Add isComparedPreview so the compared pane can stay out of the host layout slot (isComparing={false}) while still telling Preview it is the older version.
  • Forward isComparing and isComparedPreview on preview.show(), and call setComparisonMode when comparison starts on an already-open current pane (no reload).
  • Pair with the box-content-preview PR that renders the version banners from these flags.

Test plan

  • Open side-by-side version comparison and confirm each pane still loads the correct file version
  • Confirm the current pane does not nest a second compared slot
  • Start comparison on an already-open current file and confirm Preview receives the flag update without a reload
  • Leave comparison and confirm flags are cleared on the next show / setComparisonMode

Made with Cursor

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved comparison previews so the main and compared panes consistently receive the correct comparison state.
    • Comparison mode now updates without unnecessarily reloading the preview when applicable.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for comparison-mode flags, preview updates, reload behavior, and pane-specific rendering.

…e banners

Stamp isComparing and isComparedPreview on show() and on an already-open
current pane so BCP can render comparison chrome without a reload.

Walkthrough

ContentPreview now distinguishes the compared pane from the main pane. It passes both comparison flags to the preview SDK and updates comparison mode without reloading when applicable. Tests cover option propagation, runtime updates, reload behavior, and pane rendering.

Changes

Comparison preview behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Comparison flag propagation
src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.js, src/elements/content-preview/__tests__/ContentPreview.test.js
ContentPreview accepts isComparedPreview. Preview options combine this flag with isComparing, and the comparison wrapper passes it only to the compared pane. Tests verify the resulting options and pane props.
Runtime comparison mode updates
src/elements/content-preview/ContentPreview.js, src/elements/content-preview/__tests__/ContentPreview.test.js
When comparison flags change without a reload, the component calls preview.setComparisonMode with both flags. Tests verify the reload path does not call this method.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Require a Preview SDK release that supports comparison options

box-content-preview@3.90.0 drops isComparing and isComparedPreview during Preview.parseOptions(), and it does not expose setComparisonMode(). ContentPreview therefore cannot apply comparison state through either preview.show() or the update branch. Raise the dependency lower bound to the first release that implements both APIs; feature-detecting setComparisonMode() alone does not fix the initial show() path.
