File Comparison Report

The File Comparison Report identifies the differences between two files in the current directory. Some other tools refer to this as a diff report. As an example, you can use this to easily compare an autosaved version of a file to the latest version.

In the File Comparison Report listing for a directory, click file 1 for the first file. Then click file2 for the file you want to compare the first file to.

The File Comparison Report then displays the files next to each other and highlights lines that do not match. Pink highlighting and an x at the start of the line indicates that the content of the lines differs. Green highlighting and a > at the start of the line indicates a line that exists in one file but not the other.
