How do I compare by filename? I don't see that explicitly in the options.

FreeFileSync (FFS) is a file-level synchronization tool.
FFS only compares identically named files (and even only in an identical (sub)folder location relative to the left- and right- base-folder).
What can be selected (in the Compare Settings, F6) is how said identically named files will be compared: based on File time and size, on File content or on File size.
The only exception to the above is the detection of Moved or Renamed files, but that is most likely not relevant in your context.
