GOOD TO KNOW
A few useful answers.
Are my documents sent to a server?
No. The comparison runs inside your browser without an upload or account.
What does ignoring whitespace do?
It ignores leading and trailing whitespace on each line. Meaningful changes inside a line still count.
Why is one changed sentence shown as a removal and an addition?
This compares whole lines. A modified line appears as the old line removed and the new line added.
