Differences viewer for files

Last modified: 18 October 2023

This Differences Viewer is displayed when you compare two files or two versions of a file (local changes or changes between local files and their revisions in a remote repository). You can compare files of any types, including binaries and .jar files. To open it, select two files to compare or a file to compare its versions and press Ctrl0D. The Differences Viewer will be opened in a new tab.

The Differences Viewer provides a powerful editor that enables code completion, live templates, and other features.

The changes that you apply in the Differences Viewer are automatically applied to the files. You can view the changes in the files at any time while working with the Differences Viewer and after closing it.
