Collection Comparison Panel
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Collection Comparison Panel provides a text-based view of the difference between the current
asset collection (or workflow) and another asset collection selected from a dropdown in the toolbar.

While no other asset collection has been selected, the panel displays an explanation and asks the
user to make a selection.

Once a selection has been made, the panel shows a "diff" viewer using Turtle notation.
The green text shows the triples that are only in the current asset collection and the red/pink
text shows triples that are only in the selected asset collection.

Cmd+Click (macOS) or Ctrl+Click (Windows/Linux) on a URI or prefixed name in the Turtle source
code navigates to that asset.
