Additional Information

Joplin Plugin Diff View

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

At present, it only supports the mobile and desktop beta markdown editors.

[!WARNING]

Due to occasional crashes related to interactions between syntax highlighting and @codemirror/merge, this plugin should be considered to be in beta.

Desktop setup

On desktop, be sure that the beta markdown editor is enabled. To do this, go to settings > general, then check "opt-in to the editor beta".

This plugin does not support the Rich Text Editor.

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".
