We’re excited to unveil the latest evolution of our text comparison capabilities, now seamlessly built into the most recent release of our standalone Web SDK. Thoughtfully designed for developers and users alike, this feature empowers applications to deliver precise, intuitive text comparison — making workflows smoother, faster, and more elegant.

Whether it’s a contract, a legal document, or a collaborative board meeting agenda, Text Comparison enables users to easily track changes and identify differences between documents, all within your customized interface — no third-party tools required.

Simplifying text comparison

The challenge: Comparing two versions of a document — be it a final contract draft or a legal agreement — has long been a painstaking process. Too often, teams rely on third-party tools, introducing inefficiencies, friction, and inconsistencies into their workflows.

Our solution: By embedding Text Comparison directly into the Web SDK, we eliminate the need for external solutions. Developers can offer a native, fully integrated experience, allowing users to visually compare, navigate through, and interpret changes — all without ever leaving their application.

Experience the difference

1. Visual text comparison user interface (UI)

Spot even the most subtle changes at a glance with side-by-side document comparison. Insertions and deletions are clearly highlighted, guiding the user’s eye to what truly matters.

2. Comparison sidebar

Access a detailed view of text differences page by page with a dedicated sidebar feature. Users can instantly leap directly to any change with just one click, making navigation a breeze, and saving review time.

3. Customizable toolbars

Control meets simplicity. We’ve equipped the Text Comparison tool with two toolbars:

• Primary toolbar — Navigate changes, show/hide the comparison sidebar, and enable synced or independent scrolling.
• Secondary toolbar — Manage page navigation, pan, and zoom modes.

Both toolbars are fully customizable, allowing developers to add unique business logic or remove features to align with user needs.

4. Customizable UI

Tailor the interface to match your app’s branding or user requirements. From toolbar configurations to sidebar features, every aspect of the UI is customizable, ensuring it integrates seamlessly into your app:

PSPDFKit.loadTextComparison({
  ...restOfConfigurations,
  toolbarItems: [
    { type: 'prev-change' },
    { type: 'next-change' },
    { type: 'comparison-changes' },
    { type: 'scroll-lock' },
  ],
});

5. Configurable highlight colors

Differentiate between insertions and deletions with custom highlight colors, enhancing clarity, and making reviews faster than before:

PSPDFKit.loadTextComparison({
  ...restOfConfigurations,
  comparisonSidebarConfig: {
    diffColors: {
      deletionColor: new PSPDFKit.Color({ r: 255, g: 218, b: 185 }),
      insertionColor: new PSPDFKit.Color({ r: 200, g: 255, b: 200 }),
    },
  },
});
