Compare any text sources

Apart from comparing contents of files, you can paste any text to compare. This can be useful, for example, if you want to compare the console output of an application with the output from a slightly modified version of the same application.

  1. Navigate to View | Tools from the main menu and select Empty Diff. Alternatively, to open tool search, press ⌘ T.

  2. Paste any text you want to compare in the left and right panels.
