| Previous Difference / Next Difference Shift+F7 F7 | Jump to the next or previous difference. When the last or the first difference is reached, JetBrains Rider suggests clicking the arrow buttons or pressing F7/Shift+F7 once more and comparing other files modified locally. This behavior depends on the Go to the next file after reaching last change option in the Diff Viewer settings. |
| Jump to Source F4 | Open the selected file in the editor. The caret is placed in the same position as in the Diff Viewer. |
| Compare Previous/Next File Alt+Left Alt+Right | Click these buttons to compare the local copy of the previous/next file with its update from the server. |
Viewers | Select a viewer mode: side-by-side or unified. The side-by-side mode has two panels, and the unified mode has one panel. You can edit code and perform the Accept, Append, Revert actions in both viewers. You can change text only in the right-hand part of the side-by-side viewer or in the lower line in the unified viewer. You can edit only local versions of your files. You cannot edit files that have read-only status. | |
Whitespace | Define how the Diff Viewer should treat whitespaces.

Highlighting mode | Select the way differences granularity is highlighted. The available options are:
