How to make Beyond Compare ignore whitespace, but still show changes in comments

Beyond Compare has a button and menu item Ignore Unimportant Differences. When selected the diff will ignore whitespace and various formatting differences, but will also ignore changes in comments. How can I make it show comment changes, but still ignore whitespace?

Solution
    1. Use the Session ā†’ Session Settings menu item.
    2. Go to the Importance tab.
    3. In the list box on the top left, check Comments.
    4. In the drop-down at the bottom left, choose Also update session defaults. (if you want to change it permanently)
    5. Click OK.
    6. Verify that View ā†’ Ignore Unimportant Differences is enabled.
