How to Make a Compare and Contrast Chart?
Launch Creately and define your topic
Open Creately and create a workspace for your team or students. Decide on the topic or concept to compare and contrast, and clarify the purpose and goals using Creately’s whiteboard and collaborative tools.
Select or create a chart template
Choose a Compare and Contrast chart template from Creately’s library (like Venn diagrams or column-style organizers), or build one from scratch using drag-and-drop shapes from the shape library. Set up sections for similarities and differences before adding data.
Gather and organize relevant information in Creately
Invite team members to the workspace with edit access. Collect all relevant information, notes, images, links, and attachments directly on the canvas using sticky notes, the notes panel, and shapes. Structure data clearly within the template.
Identify similarities and differences
Collaborate in real time to populate the chart. Use Venn diagrams or column-style charts to write shared traits in common sections and differences in individual sections. Organize information visually so patterns and contrasts are easy to see.
Review, finalize, and share
Conduct a final review entirely in Creately. Use comments, @mentions, and multi-cursor editing for feedback, then share the finalized chart via a secure link or export it as PNG, PDF, or SVG for presentations or reporting.
