I'm not sure what exactly you want to say with this. For me this sounds like
"leave the text as it is now".

I'm in strong favour of changing the text since it is not helpful.

1) The help text
<https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/shared/guide/redlining_doccompare.html>
(which should be the same as used within LibreOffice), uses "original" or
"older".

> Comparing Versions of a Document
> …
> … you can compare the changed document to your original document.
> 1.  … compare it with the older document.

And this is what I want to see as a hint in the dialog.

2) I predicate most times, a "newer" document is compared to an "older" one -
which is exactly the case the help describes. Yes, one could also use this
function to compare completely unrelated documents, in which case "older" or
"original" would not be appropriate. But IMHO it better have a text suitable
for 95% of the use-cases instead of one only half suitable.
