It needs to be easier to zero in on the specific things that were change in a branch review. For example, I have a branch where I add a simple line of copy to one frame. But when I review that before merging, it shows me an entire section without multiple layout frames in it. One of them has the new text line, but how am I supposed to know that? See the screenshot below - I made the additional text bigger so you might be able to spot the difference. But what if it was the same size as the rest of the body text? It would be better if it highlighted the specific difference and allowed you to zoom in/out at the parent/child layer level.
Dev-mode has a feature that is a little like what I’m talking about. It’s the “Compare changes” that have been made after marking something as “Ready for dev” feature. Even though this doesn’t always work that well either, this would be more helpful than what is available now for reviewing branches.

Hi @Robbie_Boyhan, Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
I really appreciate you providing your current situation as well as those screenshots—it helps a lot to get a clearer picture. I totally get how highlighting the differences in the Branch review modal could be helpful.
For now, please give the Zoom button a try and see if it helps bring those details into better focus? Additionally, you might find it useful to check out the details that appears when you click on “Change Details,” located just below the side-by-side section.
You might already know but let me share our Help Center resources: Review branch changes
Please let us know if I overlooked anything.
Thanks again for your valuable feedback!
Zooming is pretty useless. Especially since it’s showing me an entire section while the edit was only in one specific area of one frame in the section. There’s no way I could figure what all the changes are just by zooming around the section. Also, I do not have a Change Details section like is shown on the link that you provided. It’s just white space under the Side by Side/Overlay toggle.
