The Resynchronizing Compare Tool (Ctrl+K) allows you find differences between two files. This technique is much more time consuming than a simple compare, however the analysis yields detailed information on what blocks of data have been inserted, deleted, replaced, or are matching.

After the analysis completes, the differences are presented in the Compare tab of the results control window:

Hex Workshop will select the inserted, deleted, replaced, or matched data when you select a row in the table. You can also select Next Difference from the Tools:Compare menu or press F6 to jump to the next difference. Shift+F6 or Previous Difference from the Tools:Compare menu will jump to the previous difference.

Filtering:

A drop down box is provided in the upper right hand corner of the compare results window. This can be used to filter the comparison results. Selecting Matches, Insertions, Deletions, or Replacements will show only differences of the selected type.

Recompare:

If editing a document, the compare results may become out of synch and require a re-compare. Users can press the refresh button located in the upper right hand corner of the compare results window, select Recompare from the Tools:Compare menu or press Ctrl+R
