Tips & Best Practices
Use word-level for general text, character-level for precise changes, and line-level for code or structured text.
Enable whitespace ignoring when comparing code to focus on meaningful changes rather than formatting.
Enable case-insensitive comparison when capitalization differences are not significant.
Switch between side-by-side, inline, and unified views to find the most readable format for your needs.
Use the copy feature to document changes in reports, commit messages, or change logs.
For very large documents, compare sections separately for better performance and readability.
Keep backup copies of important text versions before making changes for easy comparison.
Check the similarity percentage and change statistics to quickly assess the scope of differences.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between word, character, and line-level comparison?
Word-level shows differences between whole words, character-level shows every character change, and line-level compares entire lines. Word-level is best for general text, character-level for precise edits, and line-level for code.
How accurate is the similarity percentage?
The similarity percentage is calculated based on the ratio of unchanged content to total content. It provides a good estimate of how similar two texts are, with 100% meaning identical and 0% meaning completely different.
Should I ignore whitespace when comparing code?
Yes, when comparing code, ignoring whitespace helps focus on meaningful changes rather than formatting differences. For prose or structured text where spacing matters, keep whitespace sensitivity enabled.
Can I compare very large texts?
The tool works best with moderately sized texts. For very large documents (>10,000 words), consider breaking them into sections or using the line-level comparison for better performance.
How do I interpret the color coding in results?
Green highlights show additions (text present only in the new version), red shows deletions (text present only in the original), and yellow shows modifications (text that changed between versions).
