Manage Source code : The program makes it very easy to track modifications/changes between 2 versions of source code file/project folder, being able to help you in rolling back any erroneous changes.Customize the strong Diff Engine to ignore unimportant differences (like source code comments,whitespaces,etc.) and concentrate on the REAL changes.

Keep Folders in Sync : Working at different locations used to be a lot of trouble. Not anymore.With SwiftCompare you can keep your work (between office, home or any other place) in perfect synchronization .Merge the changes from one folder to another based on the fully customizable sync rules defined by you.also provides the facility to sync both the folders with each other based on "Sync Both Folders" rules.

Verify Data : It is always recommendable to verify the important data copied onto media like Floppy,USB Drive before carrying it to places like home,presentation site or any other place.You can do that by comparing the Data byte-by-byte using the Binary Compare feature of SwiftCompare.

Restore Corrupt Data : If for some reason your important data gets corrupt,and you are thinking of again start working from the previous saved copy of the data, think again.With SwiftCompare you can compare the two versions,and just replace the corrupted portions of file(s) with the one in backup copy,while keeping all the other changes you have made.
