Compare Word Documents in Your Browser

Use this workflow when you need to review two .docx versions quickly without sending files to a server.

Quick steps

1. Open SmarterDiff and select the Documents tab.
2. Choose Document A (older version) and Document B (newer version).
3. Run comparison and review added and removed text blocks.
4. Copy critical changes into your review notes.

Best practices

Finalize tracked changes in Word before upload to reduce noise. Use clear version names like agreement-v3.docx and agreement-v4.docx so your review trail is easy to follow.

Common limitation

Word formatting differences (spacing, font style, page breaks) may not map one-to-one in text extraction mode. For layout-heavy files, do a second visual review inside Word.
