Change Highlighting isn't available in previous versions of Microsoft Project. Like my previous topic, Multiple Undo/Redo, Change Highlighting may be all the reason you need to upgrade. If you make many changes to your project plans and struggle with identifying the effects of those changes on your project, this simple but effective feature is for you.

Change Highlighting assists you in identifying how changing data affects your other project variables. These include but aren't limited to project duration as well as task start and finish. Resource data may change as well, though I don't address this in the article.
