side-by-side view

Adjacent visual display

A side-by-side view displays two things adjacent to each other for comparison.

The term appears frequently in computing and document editing, where you might view two versions of a file or two windows simultaneously: The side-by-side view shows the original and edited drafts together.

The format facilitates spotting differences that sequential viewing might miss.
