FileMaker File Comparison

Getting Started

FMComparison works with Save As XML format. To start, choose two files to compare.

You can modify the comparison settings to focus on what you are most interested in. Choose from 4 different comparison models.

You can save your settings as a preset to use later. Once you've got your settings ready, view the comparison.

Voila!
