Describe the feature/enhancement

When editing a books metadata and manually matching -- it would be nice to be able to see what the current metadata is, along with the new metadata pulled from the provider.

This would be helpful so that I am able to make sure the new data is not vastly different than what already exists, and would allow me to see if I have made changes in the past that I would like to keep - rather than overwriting.

For example:
audiobookshelf - Copy

Right on - looks great!

My only comment is about our choice in verbiage - would 'Presently' be a better choice of word than 'Current'?
