When comparing revisions created in older versions of Studio Pro, the models are converted on-the-fly to the current Studio Pro version format. Due to this automatic conversion, the displayed older revision may not be 100% identical to the original model. This is a normal part of the version upgrade process and does not affect your actual stored revisions.
