# Entry Data Comparison

Learn how to compare and moderate modified entry data in NorrCompetition.

When moderation is configured for changed entries (*Changed* or *All*), edits submitted by contestants on the frontend do not immediately overwrite published data. Instead, NorrCompetition marks the entry with the **Changed** status and stores the updates for administrative review in a side-by-side comparison interface.

### Reviewing Modified Entries

1. Navigate to **Components > NorrCompetition > Entries**.
2. In the Search Tools filter bar, set **Select Changed** to *Changed*.
3. Click on the title of any changed entry. Instead of the standard editor, the **Entry Data Comparison** screen opens:

<figure><img src="https://norrnext.com/images/docs/norrcompetition/entries/comparison_form.png" alt="NorrCompetition - Comparison form"><figcaption><p>Side-by-Side Revision Comparison Form</p></figcaption></figure>

### Comparison Interface

The comparison form presents a four-column grid:

* **Field** – name of the custom field or system attribute.
* **Old Value** – current live value currently published on the frontend.
* **New Value** – newly proposed value submitted by the contestant.
* **Apply New Value** – granular checkbox for each field. If checked, the new value replaces the old value upon saving. If unchecked, the existing live value is retained.

Once you have verified the proposed modifications, click **Save & Close** to apply the approved changes.

### Email Notifications for Modified Entries

To receive alerts when contestants edit their submissions:

1. Navigate to **Components > NorrCompetition > Options** (Global Configuration).
2. In the **General** tab, set **Email Notification** to *On Changed* or *All*.
3. Specify recipient email addresses in **Notification Emails** (or leave empty to notify system administrators).
