Comparing multiple files to find most recent version

0 votes
Hello

Is there a way to compare the actual data in the graphs, similar to how some apps can compare Word or PDF documents, and identify the deletions and additions?

I ended up in a situation where I worked on the same file on different computers (long story) and now have 3 files that look very similar and I can't remember which was the last one I worked on.

I can't rely on the file properties in the file explorer as one of the file's dates are based on when I transferred it from another computer. But it is possible I may have also worked on it that same day.

I am trying to figure out which is the last modified version so I can properly back it up and continue editing.

Unfortunately, yEd does not offer a feature to compare two graphs for differences, because this is actually a very hard problem to solve - much, much harder than comparing text documents.

Thanks for the quick feedback Thomas. Really appreciate it. I'll look for an image comparison tool to see if that can work.
