New file and directory filtering on compare page
April 30, 2025
File and directory filtering has been added to the compare page in Code Search to make large diffs easier to navigate, manage and share. When comparing branches with thousands of changed files, you can now use the file picker to select specific files or directories to focus on. You can also filter files directly by constructing a URL with multiple file paths, or use a compressed file list for even larger selections.
This update gives you much greater control over which changes you view, helping teams review only the files relevant to them without endless scrolling.
