  1. Start a comparison

    Start a comparison.

    Use a known reference and check each label separately. These practice values are synthetic. An exact match is not a physical contents or optical approval.

  2. Keep every leading zero

    Keep every leading zero.

    Enter the complete reference. MatchBench preserves each character exactly, including spaces and leading zeroes.

  3. Move on to checking labels

    Move on to checking labels.

    The reference stays fixed until you deliberately change it. Each submitted comparison stays in history.

  4. Find an extra space

    Find an extra space.

    The comparison has one extra trailing space. The visible space marker makes the difference clear. MatchBench does not trim it.

  5. Review every retained check

    Review every retained check.

    Review the newest check first, with its original reference and recorded entry source. A correction does not delete the earlier observation.
