What these guides cover

A diff is evidence, not a decision. The articles explain how to distinguish meaningful changes from formatting noise, when to use two-way or three-way comparison, why structured data needs format-aware handling, and how to verify a merged file after the visual review is complete.

MergeGlass can help organize that work, but the guidance is tool-independent. You can apply the same principles in Git, an IDE, a command-line diff, or your organization’s approved review system.
