Text comparison tool

The Text Comparison Tool in MoonDesk allows for us to analyze the differences between the text content in two documents, highlighting modified, added or deleted words, phrases or blocks. It's ideal for verifying and controlling text in a fast and simple way.

From July the 1st 2025, this tool will only be available for Full plan subscribers. Please check for plan details in Moondesk.com.

You can access this functionality from:

1- Documents (documents' preview): click on the document to visualize it. Once open, you will see the toolbar in the lower part. Click on the "compare text" button.
