Sidebar Diff brings revision comparisons directly into the editor so you don’t have to leave your flow.
<ul>
<li>Always-visible panel in the editor sidebar</li>
<li>Live comparison of your current edits vs. last saved copy</li>
<li>Optionally compare against any revision from the dropdown</li>
<li>Per-block grouping with per-paragraph highlights (insertions and deletions)</li>
<li>Zero front‑end impact; editor-only assets</li>
<li>Improved diff highlighting with color-coded line indicators</li>
<li>Dark mode support for WordPress 6.8+ compatibility</li>
<li>Responsive design optimized for different screen sizes</li>
<li>Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+D/Cmd+D) to toggle diff panel quickly</li>
<li>Performance optimizations with lazy loading and debounced calculations</li>
</ul>
Why this isn’t a duplicate: Existing revision/workflow plugins (e.g., PublishPress Revisions) provide queues and separate compare screens. Sidebar Diff embeds an always-visible diff inspector inside the editor sidebar for continuous awareness.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
The plugin does not transmit data to third parties, set cookies, or track users. Editor-only scripts run for logged-in users with edit capabilities.
