      Open Notepad++, go to Plugins menu and open there in the bottom the Plugins Admin...
      Scroll there the Available tab list and find ComparePlus. Mark its tick box and click in the right top corner the Install button.
      Notepad will ask to close (you should confirm) and then will restart, download and install the Compare ‘function’.

          @XianglanAn New problem!
          Using the document list and clicking right bottom, a popped window lacks 4 items: crowning to other view, …

          Why?

          I lost the function on 2 views to work on a document.

            I found the clown function: the new Notepad++ version moves the function from the right-click window to the view window.

              If I can interpret that (barely), I think you mean the clone-document function.

              It used to be (8.4.5 and earlier) directly off of the tab right-click context menu:

              Starting in 8.4.6, it is simply one level deeper in the same tab context menu:

              Of course, as you point out, it is also found in the View menu hierarchy:
