# Code diff animated icon

A code diff is applied: a removed line is deleted and an added line is confirmed. Light: the line marked minus erases back into its minus like a backspace, the minus kicks as it empties, then the plus pops and settles; the deleted line stays gone. Strong: the minus line erases faster after a short hold, the minus kicks harder, a highlight flashes up behind the added line and fades, and the plus pops bigger and settles in two beats. The preview reset fades the deleted line back in.
