You should be able to refresh the ediff session with "!". But instead of the above I use this for ediff generally, it persists in Org mode: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (add-hook 'ediff-prepare-buffer-hook 'f-ediff-prepare-buffer-hook-setup) (defun f-ediff-prepare-buffer-hook-setup () ;; specific modes (cond ((eq major-mode 'org-mode) (f-org-vis-mod-maximum)) ;; room for more modes ) ;; all modes (setq truncate-lines nil)) (defun f-org-vis-mod-maximum () "Visibility: Show the most possible." (cond ((eq major-mode 'org-mode) (visible-mode 1) ; default 0 (setq truncate-lines nil) ; no `org-startup-truncated' in hook (setq org-hide-leading-stars t)) ; default nil (t (message "ERR: not in Org mode") (ding)))) #+END_SRC Michael
