Create your first file diff
For general guidance on how file diffs work in Datafold, check out our file diffing docs. When creating a diff, note that the file path you provide may differ depending on whether you’re using ADLS or Blob Storage. For example:- ADLS:
abfss://<my_filesystem>/<path>/<my_file>.<csv, xlsx, parquet, etc.> - Blob Storage:
az://<my_container>/<path>/<my_file>.<csv, xlsx, parquet, etc.>
