File and Folder Comparing

This feature lets you compare entities, files and folders. This becomes very useful when you have sections of code or functions that are similar. By comparing entities, you can quickly see why one is working and the other isn't, or if you can combine them. Comparing files works great for merging in changes that others have made to the code. And comparing folders tells what files are new, which ones aren't in the newest version, and files that are different between versions. None of this requires a parse, which makes it very fast.


Improved Diff

Understand's "diffing" function is quite powerful, and since it is integrated into the application, all the code navigation features available with it. This makes it much easier for you to find things and focus on what you need to do. Its visual overlay system identifies changes at a glance. It also performs "character diffing", highlights individual characters that are different from one place to the next, and immensely useful advantage. Everything is integrated at the menu level, which makes finding functions or classes, and diffing them from others, quick and easy.
