Description

When something on a page changed and you want to know exactly what moved, ask Claude or ChatGPT to compare two recorded edits side by side and it tells you in plain language what's different between them. You can also check a single past change against how the page or setting looks on your live site right now - a quick way to see whether an earlier edit has since drifted or been overwritten. It's ideal for verifying the AI did what you asked, catching unwanted changes, and deciding whether to roll something back.
