      Dear community and developers,

      I’m using the Compare plugin in v2.0.0. It nicely visualizes a change (added|removed|changed) by displaying an icon next to each line in each document tab. Can I hightlight or mark all lines with a particular change to extract and only work on these?

      My use case is to compare search results:

      • Search engine A retrieves a set of titles 1
      • Search engine B retrieves a set of titles 2

      I sort both lists and run COMPARE to visualize differences. It categorizes each line that is unique to either one of the documents or shared by both, e.g. the intersection. Somehow I am missing an option to properly work with the plugins output, e.g. set a bookmark on each line that is identical or changed or added/removed.

      Thanks for your help!

      Best,
      Brendy
