About Jira Diff Highlighter

Improves readability of Jira ticket diffs. Jira Diff Highlighter is a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox that enhances the readability of Jira issue description diffs. It transforms standard Jira diffs into a more user-friendly, side-by-side comparison with highlighted changes. Key Features: - Enhanced Diff View: Transforms standard Jira diffs into a readable side-by-side comparison. - Highlighted Changes: Clearly see additions, deletions, and modifications with color-coded highlights. - Configurable Large Change Handling: Choose the character limit for collapsing large insertions or deletions, keeping long Jira updates readable without cluttering the page. - Show Full Text: Expand any collapsed large change inline when you need to inspect the full insertion or deletion. - Toggle On/Off: Switch between enhanced and original diff views from the extension popup. - Multi-Tab Support: Maintains consistent state across multiple Jira tabs. - Custom Jira Domains: Atlassian-hosted Jira works automatically, and custom Jira domains can be enabled with explicit per-site access. Perfect for: - Developers reviewing code changes - Project managers tracking requirement updates - QA testers following bug report modifications - Anyone who frequently works with Jira issue descriptions Jira Diff Highlighter works automatically on Atlassian-hosted Jira instances using atlassian.net subdomains. If your team uses Jira on a custom domain, you can add that domain from the extension popup and grant access only to that site. Open Source Jira Diff Highlighter is an open-source project. You can view the source code, contribute, or report issues on GitHub: https://github.com/richiehowelll/jira-diff Note: This extension only enhances the diff view of issue descriptions. It does not alter any Jira data.
