select the type of differences you’re looking for to verify that the appropriate changes have been
made.

To Access, go into PhantomPDF and click View > Compare
First, choose two versions of the file to compare and click the “Options” button at the bottom.
Next, select the highlighted options below. Once you do this, you shouldn’t have to do it again. Double check that the “Set current properties as default” is checked at the bottom and click OK.
To customize the legend, look under Color, Opacity and Line Thickness and customize as you see fit.
Then click OK to compare the versions. You will then see this screen. This gives you total replacements, insertions and deletions.
