The Simple Compare Tool (Ctrl+K) allows you to quickly and easily find differences within two files. After selecting your files and pressing the "OK" button, Hex Workshop will select the first difference found in your documents.

The compare tool starts looking for differences as offset 0 in both documents. You can change this behavior and set a alternative starting offset by pressing the "Advanced" button in the original Compare Dialog. Any future comparisons use the current cursor position.

Select Next Difference from the Tools:Compare menu or press F6 to find the next difference.

Select Previous Difference from the Tools:Compare menu or press Shift+F6 to find the previous difference.

If any data was inserted or deleted, you will need to manually adjust your cursor position. Alternatively, you can use the resynchronizing compare tool.

NOTE: You should not see anything in the compare tab of the results control as that window is used for resynchronizing compares.
