Description
Sidebar Diff brings revision comparisons directly into the editor so you don’t have to leave your flow.
- Always-visible panel in the editor sidebar
- Live comparison of your current edits vs. last saved copy
- Optionally compare against any revision from the dropdown
- Per-block grouping with per-paragraph highlights (insertions and deletions)
- Zero front‑end impact; editor-only assets
- Improved diff highlighting with color-coded line indicators
- Dark mode support for WordPress 6.8+ compatibility
- Responsive design optimized for different screen sizes
- Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+D/Cmd+D) to toggle diff panel quickly
- Performance optimizations with lazy loading and debounced calculations
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.
Privacy
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.

FAQ
-
Does it change my content or save anything?
-
No. It only reads the current edited content and server-saved content/revisions and renders a visual diff in the editor UI.
-
Which baseline options are supported?
-
- Last saved on server (default)
- Last published (same as saved when post status is publish)
- Choose a revision… (select any available revision)
-
What about custom blocks?
-
Custom blocks are supported. The diff is computed on serialized block HTML and split into paragraph-like segments for readability.
-
Performance considerations
-
Diffing is debounced and scoped to the editor. Extremely large posts may render a simplified/compact view. Lazy loading is implemented for large documents to improve performance.
-
How do I quickly toggle the diff panel?
-
Use Ctrl+D (Cmd+D on Mac) to quickly toggle the diff panel.
