# Deviation Panel

The Deviation panel is the central area where you review all detected differences. It contains two tabs: **Pixel Deviation** and **Text Deviation**.

| ### ![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/5b4a7650-0b61-4a6a-9deb-92940393cfb8) | **Note:** Only the tabs relevant to the comparison you performed will appear. For example, if you ran only a pixel comparison, only the **Pixel Deviation** tab is displayed. |

-   **Pixel Deviation:** This tab lists and displays pixel-level discrepancies, such as color variations, object misalignment, or missing visual elements.
-   **Text Deviation:** This tab highlights differences in text content, including misspellings, formatting inconsistencies, and missing or altered text segments.

## Deviation Settings

Customize how visual differences are highlighted and reviewed using the following settings in the Compare interface:

### Deviation Style

Choose how deviations are visually represented on the artwork:

-   **Box** – Highlights differences using rectangular markers around the affected area.
-   **Contour** – Uses shape-based outlines that follow the contours of the deviation for more precise visualization.

### Deviation Number

Toggle the display of numbered labels for each identified deviation. Enabling this helps reviewers refer to and discuss specific differences quickly.

### High Sensitive

Enable this option to increase detection sensitivity. This is especially useful for identifying minor or subtle changes in text, spacing, or alignment on complex or large-scale artworks.

### Gray Out

When enabled, this setting dims the unchanged regions of the artwork, allowing deviations to stand out more prominently. This reduces visual noise and helps users focus on differences.

-   **Ignoring Deviations:** Click the green box icon beside any deviation you deem acceptable to mark it as ignored. It will change to red for visual confirmation.
-   **Adding Comments:** Click the comment icon next to any deviation to add explanatory notes or justifications for ignoring it.
