Markup and view changes in LaTex with latexdiff

latexdiff is a useful tool that allows you to easily annotate and view changes to a LaTeX document. It significantly lessens the effort of having to go through two files at the same time, where it is easy to miss minor changes such as word substitutions and changes to numbers or signs in an equation. latexdiff is a Perl script that requires Perl 5.8 or higher to run.

Thank you very much. Helped a ton - I was stuck on errors due to the PowerShell. But your video helped me fix it!

Thank you so much. I was stuck using PowerShell and latexdiff-so, and got a corrupted .tex file with wrong encoding. Now everything works fine.

Great content. But I'm struggling to make it work having a subfiles + biber . Do you have any example which covers that use case?
I've searched and it seems there are some which works in MAC / Linux, creating a build directory.
