The most popular ways to display changes are either side-by-side, or a consolidating view that highlights data inserts, and deletes. In either side-by-side viewing, code folding or text folding, for the sake of efficiency, the interface may hide portions of the file that did not change and show only the changes.

Data comparison, side-by-side highlighted comparison, smart code diff, and directory synchronization; Ignoration of comment, newline, and pure format changes; Visual comparison of similar functions via tree structures; Alignment and comparison of file subsections such as C++ functions and classes; In-place editing and comparing of files
ExamDiff Pro is a commercial software utility for visual file and directory comparison, for Microsoft Windows. ExamDiff Pro has a double-pane view that allows side-by-side comparisons, with color-coded line numbers indicating whether each line is added, deleted, or changed. ExamDiff Pro can compare text and binary files, and directories.
Some widely used file comparison programs are diff, cmp, FileMerge, WinMerge, Beyond Compare, and File Compare. Because understanding changes is important to writers of code or documents, many text editors and word processors include the functionality necessary to see the changes between different versions of a file or document.
The software-based document comparison process compares a reference document to a target document, and produces a third document which indicates (by colored highlighting or by differing font characteristics) information (text, graphics, formulas, etc.) that has either been added to or removed from the reference document to produce the target ...
Meld is a visual diff and merge tool, targeted at developers. It allows users to compare two or three files or directories visually, color-coding the different lines. Meld can be used for comparing files, directories, and version controlled repositories.
In computing, the utility diff is a data comparison tool that computes and displays the differences between the contents of files. Unlike edit distance notions used for other purposes, diff is line-oriented rather than character-oriented, but it is like Levenshtein distance in that it tries to determine the smallest set of deletions and insertions to create one file from the other.
