Diff

Shows two blocks of text side by side with the changes between them highlighted.

Put a before-and-after pair on a page, an old and new config block, two versions of a paragraph of policy wording, a snippet before and after a refactor, and let readers see exactly what changed rather than reading both and comparing by eye. You paste the two versions into the macro's Before and After boxes and it renders a two-pane CodeMirror merge view with insertions and deletions marked. It is a static comparison of text you supply, not a comparison of Confluence page versions or of attachments. Both panes are read-only for readers, so there is no risk of someone editing the comparison in place.

Every example below is a real macro on this page, not a screenshot, and each one is a configuration taken from a page somebody actually built. Open this page in the editor to see how any of them is set up.
