storing, in association with a user account at a content management system, a content item;
receiving, at the content management system, change data reflecting a first version of the content item including changes made to another version of the content item from a second device;
determining, by the content management system, differences between the stored content item and the first version of the content item; and
creating difference data including the change data and transmitting, to a client device, data effective to:

receive, by the client device, the change data from a content management system, the change data reflecting changes made to another version of the content item at a second device compared with the first version of the content item;
request, from the first application, by a second application associated with the content management system and executing on the client device, a viewing location of the content item that is presented in the first graphical user interface;
receive, by the second application, the viewing location of the content item that is presented in the first graphical user interface of the first application;
detect, by the second application associated with the content management system, one or more portions of the change data correlating with the viewing location, wherein the one or more portions are separated based on corresponding editors or timestamps; and
cause display, in a second graphical user interface presented by the second application on the client device, of one or more separated portions of detailed changes based on the change data, wherein the detailed changes displayed are detailed markups of the change data that dynamically correlate with the viewing location of the content item that is presented in the first graphical user interface.
