The words added and removed between two versions of a text, for edit logs.
text.diff_words
In a flow
“Works out what changed whenever a step wired to it needs the answer.”
"red cat" → "red dog": removed cat, added dog
What it does
The words added and removed between two versions of a text, for edit logs. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 4 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: the words added and removed between two versions of a text, for edit logs.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.

The old text.
What goes there: Type it in the side panel, or wire in text. e.g. Hello there
If it's empty: Optional. Left empty and unwired, the step runs without it.
