Turn on Difference Highlight

What Does This Feature Do?

Use the “difference highlight” feature to highlight all differences, pixel-by-pixel, in a user-specified color, bringing the difference to the proofreader's attention. It indicates the change that is occurring in the inspection to further assist in detecting all differences, even the slightest discrepancies.
