Knowing that something changed is only half the job; you often need the exact row it changed on.
Difference Between Text shows line numbers so you can locate each change precisely.
How to use Difference Between Text
- Put the original text in the first box and the revised text in the second.
- Turn on Line numbers to label each row, then read the numbered additions and removals.
- Copy the numbered differences for your reference.
Use cases
- Citing the exact line where a clause changed.
- Telling a teammate which row to fix.
- Tracking changes by line number across revisions.
Good to know
Difference Between Text aligns the two versions line by line and, with Line numbers on, prefixes each row so you can reference exact positions. The numbering reflects each side independently for added and removed rows. Everything runs in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
Can I see line numbers?
Yes. Turn on Line numbers and each row is labeled so you can point to the exact line that changed.
How are added and removed rows numbered?
Removed rows are numbered against the original and added rows against the revised text, so each side reads naturally.
Is the comparison done row by row?
Yes. It works one line at a time, which is what you want when citing changes by row number.
