diffs

To generate a shareable diff for code review, provide before and after text inputs to produce an exact, shareable difference artifact. It renders changes automatically, replacing vague manual edit summaries with precise viewer URLs or downloadable patch files for clear collaboration.

Creating a patch file from before and after text is done by providing both inputs to the tool and selecting the file rendering mode. It outputs a downloadable patch file containing the exact differences, which can be shared directly via a filePath artifact for version control workflows.

You can view diffs in a browser by using the mode=view setting to generate a viewerUrl. This produces a shareable URL that renders the before and after content differences directly in a viewer, eliminating the need to download patch files for quick code reviews.

This diff tool supports document edits as well as code, producing exact differences for any before and after text inputs. It applies to documentation updates, patch workflows, and code reviews, generating shareable viewer URLs or artifacts to communicate changes clearly across various content types.

The difference between mode=view and mode=file is the output format: mode=view generates a shareable viewerUrl to display differences in a browser, while mode=file outputs a downloadable patch file. Mode=both generates both simultaneously for flexible sharing and version control integration.

Optional quality settings are available when rendering diffs from before and after content. These settings can be applied alongside mode selections (view, file, or both) to adjust the output of viewer URLs or downloadable patch files, ensuring the generated artifact meets your code review standards.
