Additional Information

Joplin Plugin Diff View

A plugin for Joplin that adds support for comparing notes in the note editor.

This plugin uses @codemirror/merge to show a diff that can be used to compare the content of related notes and to resolve conflicts.

Desktop setup

• This plugin does not support the Rich Text Editor.
• On desktop, be sure that the legacy Markdown editor is disabled. To do this, go to settings > general > advanced, then uncheck the "legacy Markdown editor" setting.

Usage

This plugin adds a "compare" button to the desktop and mobile markdown toolbars.

To compare the current note with another:

1. Click "compare" ().
2. Search for a note ID, note title, or content.
   • The search bar supports the same search syntax as Joplin.
3. Click "OK".

Joplin syncs the ID of the note to be compared with between devices.

To stop comparing with another note:

1. Click "compare" ().
2. Click "None".
   
3. Click "OK".
