This application allows us to view the folders and compare them in two ways. The ability to compare folders will allow us to determine if there have been any duplicates and if, on the contrary, the correct information has been stored to protect it. However, the program will also let us compare the two binary files or files found in three folders. This will indicate which lines in each file are different so we can determine which one is valid. WinMerge allows us to contrast the content of two text files.

It is difficult to determine if the information in each file matches the others or whether one has been updated. There is also a file map that shows the overall file differences in a location pane.We will often find ourselves in a situation where there are two or more files that have the exact same name. The app also has Regexp filtering for filenames and lines, side-by-side line difference and highlight differences inside lines. WinMerge has Unicode support, flexible syntax coloring editor, Visual SourceSafe integration, and Windows Shell integration.
