For Legal Professionals: Instantly identify every change by copying text from draft contracts—edited in other applications (such as Microsoft Word)—and pasting it directly into the file comparison window.
For Software and Web Developers: Compare, identify differences in, and merge various versions of source files.Work quickly and accurately, whether you are comparing individual files or reconciling entire branches of source code.Utilize three-way comparison to seamlessly integrate your own changes with modifications proposed by your colleagues.Synchronize your website with a staging environment via FTP using the FTP add-on.
For Release and QA Managers: Compare different source code branches to gain full visibility into every change made to every file for a specific release.Compare production releases to specifically verify that only the expected files have been modified.Generate HTML or XML change reports for auditing purposes.
For Auditors and Code Reviewers: Identify every change made between two or three source code trees.Generate independent HTML or XML reports of your findings.Add bookmarks and comments to file or folder comparisons, then save them as a standalone archive to share with team members for review.
