Google Docs Gets Compare Feature

Users of Google's G Suite platform will finally get a compare feature in Google Docs.
The newly added feature lets you compare two documents directly from the web interface. To do so, you need to open the first document in Docs, then click on Tools -> Compare Documents and fetch the version to compare it against. This will create a new file highlighting changes as suggested edits. To make it easier to recognize, you'll be asked who the differences should be attributed to, which will make the changes appear as if they were made by a particular user directly in Docs.
That's a second major feature added to Docs recently; the other being the addition of section breaks. It's nice to see Docs finally getting some (much needed) love.
