02
See additions and removals in their original context
Color-coded rows preserve the unchanged lines around each edit, so configuration changes are understandable instead of merely counted.
Why it belongs
Why Text Diff earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
Context is preserved
Unchanged lines remain in the result so every addition or removal is anchored to the surrounding text.
The direction of change is explicit
Deleted rows and inserted rows use separate treatments, backed by added and removed totals.
The output is ready to share
Copy diff produces a compact unified representation with unchanged, added, and removed line prefixes.

Questions
Before you try Text Diff
Does it compare individual characters?
Text Diff is intentionally line-based, which keeps configuration, copy, and snippet changes easy to scan.
Are unchanged lines hidden?
No. They stay visible so changed lines retain their surrounding context.
Can I copy the result?
Yes. Copy diff creates a unified text representation using plus, minus, and context prefixes.
