🎯 When to Use It

  • Reviewing what changed between two versions of a config file or script.
  • Comparing two drafts of a document.
  • Checking that a copy or migration matches the original.

  • Turn on Ignore whitespace when indentation differences are creating noise.
  • Turn off case sensitivity when only capitalisation changed.
  • For very large files, compare the section you care about to keep the result readable.
