Folders
How to compare folders before a handoff or release
Folder comparison is useful when the package matters more than the content of any single file. It helps teams catch missing assets, unexpected additions, and modified files before someone uploads, ships, or archives the bundle.
What the folder view tells you
The folder comparison mode checks file paths, sizes, and modification dates. That is often enough to catch the most common release mistakes: a missing file, a new file added by accident, or a changed file that was not expected in the final package.
When folder comparison is the right first step
- Comparing build outputs before deployment
- Checking a vendor file drop against the previous delivery
- Reviewing a release archive before handoff
- Validating that a synced folder actually changed where expected
What it does not replace
Folder-level review is a fast filter, not a deep content audit. Once you see which files changed, you usually still want a document, text, or CSV comparison for the files that matter most.
