How to use the Text Diff Checker

Frequently asked questions

                    

                                                    

                                
                                    Is my text sent anywhere?
                                    
                                
                                
No. The comparison runs in your browser, so you can safely compare configs and code that contain secrets.

                            

                                                    

                                
                                    Can I ignore whitespace?
                                    
                                
                                
Yes. Tick "Ignore whitespace" to skip changes in spaces and indentation, or "Ignore case" for upper/lower case.
