You can compare the contents of two text files by doing the following:

  1. Search for two documents, each with at least one PDF file attached.

  2. Select the two documents and click Actions > Compare Documents as Text.

    If more than one PDF file is attached to one or both documents, the Select two files to compare dialog appears.

What can I do with the top pane?

The plain text content of the two files appears side-by-side in the top pane. Any differences in the two files are highlighted. You can expand condensed blocks of text by clicking (...). The contents in the pane update as you navigate one of the original files loaded in the bottom pane.

What can I do with the bottom pane?

You can adjust the comparable text in the top pane by navigating one of the original files in the bottom pane. Use the power bar options in the middle of the page to adjust your view.
