How do I import different versions of a part in an assembly to view side by side.

This is a typical client/team review situation. Perhaps there is a different approach but I can't see it.

@ MBCdesign01, You can't insert a part from old version of active document since you have working in new version and only latest parts are available.
You can insert part from any version of other documents

As @Narayan_K stated, the best course of action is to start a new document (call it 'Master Assembly Doc') and from there you can take advantage of our linked documents: https://cad.onshape.com/help/#linked-documents.htm?Highlight=linked5 -

You can also use the compare tool between different versions in the same document.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEAI5

thank you for this, I had worked out something similar. I had hoped to be able to contain an entire project within one document but the only way of having a 'assembly of versions' is to have a separate assembly document.
I have a separate assembly that has snap-shots versions. "Crescent Moon- review assembly" if you want to check it out (I don't know how to link yet)
Fortunately I can import this 'review assembly' into the original document as another assembly tab and it will update as I add move versions to the review assembly (but I need to make a new version in the review assembly). "Bowl- Crescent Moon 01" if you want to check it out.
Many thanks.
