Yes

However, dreamweaver doesn't have native compare tool. You will need to download a third-party merge or "diff" utility and configure Dreamweaver to integrate with this program.

WinMerge utility

To configure dreamweaver use compare tool go to: Edit -> Preferences (CTRL + U) -> File Compare -> "Browse..." for executable file of compare tool

  1. Download and install notepad++ (a wonderful free editor).

  2. If you want to compare two local files: Open the two files in notepad++. Choose Plugins -> Compare (or alt-D).

  3. If you want to compare a remote file with some other file, follow the instructions in Dreamweaver Help for comparing files. Tell DW you will use notepad++.
