Synchronising the scrolling of two documents can be an effective way of easily spotting changes between versions of a document. Alternatively, you can click the fourteenth and fifteenth icons from the right in the icon bar, the ones with the little padlocks.

Click on “View” in the top bar, then click “Synchronise Vertical Scrolling” and/or “Synchronise Horizontal Scrolling”.Īlternatively, you can click the fourteenth and fifteenth icons from the right in the icon bar.

To synchronise the scrolling of two documents, click on “View” in the top bar, then click “Synchronise Vertical Scrolling” and/or “Synchronise Horizontal Scrolling”. Both vertical and horizontal scrolling can be synchronised independently or together, although horizontal scrolling is only possible if “Word wrap” is disabled. However, it is possible to synchronise the scrolling between the two open documents. By default, any moved or cloned tabs can be scrolled independently. A cloned tab will carry across any changes since the last save, and will continue to match future changes too.
