Currently, Scripto’s comparison view only works on different versions of the same script—so there isn’t yet a built-in way to compare two completely separate documents.
Don’t worry! There’s a simple workaround that keeps your original scripts safe while letting you compare them.
How to Compare Two Scripts
Create a new comparison script
Start a blank document. This will be your comparisons script so your originals stay untouched.
Take a snapshot of the first script
Copy all the content from Script 1 into the new comparison script.
Take a snapshot and give it a clear name, e.g., Script Draft 1.
Take a snapshot of the second script
Delete the first script’s content from the temporary script.
Copy in all the content from Script 2.
Take another snapshot and name it, e.g., Script Draft 18
Compare the snapshots
Use Scripto’s side by side view in Snapshots to compare 2 versions. You’ll see all additions, deletions, and changes between Script Draft 1 and Script Draft 18 as if they were versions of the same document.
