In the right panel, you can explore all the edits made to the new file. On the top toolbar, you have multiple options, including:

Highlight Results: This feature highlights all the changes made in the new file to help you spot them easily.

Sync Scrolling: You can also sync scrolling to scroll both PDFs simultaneously, comparing them line by line. If not needed, toggle the button next to this option.

Export: This option will let you export the changes in the PDF file. You can export in PDF format.

Filter: This feature enables you to filter out text, images, paths, shading, or pages. This option lets you focus on single or multiple elements at a time.
