Step 3: The following window will ask you to upload the current and previous versions of the same PDF. You can select the PDF from local storage or use the drop-down menu to select from Recent files.

After selecting PDFs, you can also select the Page Ranges you want to compare. If you want to compare them entirely, leave Page Ranges as they are.

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

  • Zoom: You can zoom in or zoom out both PDF files. Simply use the '+' or '-,' type in the number, or use any option from the drop-down menu.
  • 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 tests, images, paths, shading, or pages. This option lets you focus on single or multiple elements at a time.
