# Diff limits administration
|
|
|
|
You can set a maximum size for display of diff files (patches).
|
|
|
|
## Maximum diff patch size
|
|
|
|
Diff files which exceed this value will be presented as 'too large' and won't
|
|
be expandable. Instead of an expandable view, a link to the blob view will be
|
|
shown.
|
|
|
|
Patches greater than 10% of this size will be automatically collapsed, and a
|
|
link to expand the diff will be presented.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
Merge requests and branch comparison views will be affected.
|
|
|
|
CAUTION: **Caution:**
|
|
This setting is experimental. An increased maximum will increase resource
|
|
consumption of your instance. Keep this in mind when adjusting the maximum.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Admin area > Settings > General**.
|
|
1. Expand **Diff limits**.
|
|
1. Enter a value for **Maximum diff patch size**, measured in bytes.
|
|
1. Click on **Save changes**.

<!-- ## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
Include any troubleshooting steps that you can foresee. If you know beforehand what issues
|
|
one might have when setting this up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
|
|
important to describe those, too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them here.
|
|
This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
|
|
questions that you know someone might ask.
|
|
|
|
Each scenario can be a third-level heading, e.g. `### Getting error message X`.
|
|
If you have none to add when creating a doc, leave this section in place
|
|
but commented out to help encourage others to add to it in the future. -->
