Frequently Asked Questions

When is visual comparison better than text comparison?
It is better when you need to catch spacing, image, formatting, or layout changes that may not appear in plain text diffs.

Designers, legal reviewers, QA teams, and document owners all benefit when visual integrity matters.
Can this help with final approval workflows?
Yes. It reduces the chance that subtle but important visual changes slip into a final release.
