How to view only the differences in WinMerge

I have two text documents with 1000 lines each and there are (let's say) 50 lines that are highlighted as different. Is there a way to view/extract only those lines that differ, either with a filter or perhaps a way to sort to get the differences at the top?

Any way to enable this feature by default? – Andreas Haferburg – 2017-01-05T11:58:34.080

@AndreasHaferburg: There might be, but I'm not sure. The WinMerge forum (or even the specific thread I linked to above) would be the best place to ask. If you find out how to do it, don't forget to leave a comment or add it above as well to help others. – Karan – 2017-05-16T02:55:14.897
