Is there a way 2 documents in the same index be compared and the diff highlighted?
For example, lets say a resource has gone through multiple updates. compare 2 revisions of this resource to find out what changed.
Based on this discussion it was suggested to create a feature request [Comparing 2 docs](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/comparing-2-docs/124454) but the below issue was closed
[#17850](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/17850)

The issue was likely closed as it was more of a question than a feature request. It is not possible to do this with Kibana now.
I suggest re-iterating your suggestion in the closed ticket to be clear that this is a request for a new feature. It is helpful to provide a strong use case for this as well.
