Compare Text Files Effectively

Text mode is best for source files, logs, clauses, and copied document excerpts.

Mode selection

• Line: fast structure-level review.
• Word: best for contract or policy wording changes.
• Character: useful for punctuation or token-level edits.

Noise reduction

Enable ignore-case and ignore-whitespace when formatting churn hides meaningful edits.
