Highlight differences to compare table row values

When editing an iComponent or Model State table, a new Compare column with a checkbox is added to select rows. By default, all rows are unchecked. Check or uncheck the rows to add or remove from the comparison.

If more than two rows are being compared, the first selected row is used as the base for comparison with other rows. If the base row is deleted, the second selected row is used as the base. When the "All Rows" toggle is on, the first row is still used as the base. To change the base comparison row, select Set As Default Row from the context-menu.

Coloring is used to distinguish the compared rows and cells:

• Orange: Indicates the base row.
• Blue: Indicates cell differences.
• Grey: Rows that are not being compared.
