 ```
 
-**Q: What's the maximum file size GroupDocs.Comparison can handle?**
-A: While there's no hard limit, performance depends on your system's available memory. For large files (>100MB), consider processing in chunks or increasing JVM heap size.
+**Q: What's the maximum file size GroupDocs.Comparison can handle?**  
+A: There’s no hard limit, but performance depends on available memory. For files larger than 100 MB, increase the JVM heap size or process in chunks.
+
+**Q: How accurate is the comparison algorithm?**  
+A: The library uses advanced diff algorithms that detect changes in text, formatting, images, and even embedded objects—ideal for legal or compliance use cases.
+
+**Q: Can I customize which types of changes are detected?**  
+A: Yes. Use `CompareOptions` to enable or disable detection of text, formatting, images, tables, etc.
