How the Text Compare Tool Works
The tool separates the two versions of your text into individual words and compares their order and content. It then identifies matching portions, additions and removals.
This makes it easier to review changes between an original version and a revised version without manually reading every sentence from beginning to end.
For the best results, compare text that represents the same document or section. Large structural changes can produce more extensive differences because the comparison is based on the words and their sequence.
The tool is designed as a convenient first-level comparison utility. It does not replace professional document review, proofreading or legal analysis where those services are required.
