The first is singular and the second is plural:

There is one detail you missed: the butler has an alibi.
He told me about his mishap, but I have forgotten the details.

Hi Mr M! How are you today? Please tell the difference between 'much detail' and 'many details'? When do you say there are too many details and when that's too much detail?

.
It is usually just a matter of how the writer is considering the information-- as bits or as a lump.

Got it, Mister. Bits or lump: That's the question.

[Diddyp20]

[Mister Micawber]

bits -- multiple countable pieces
lump-- a single undifferentiated amount

We use detail; used in single the other one is used in plural forms.shortly detail= single , indetails=plural

[Morteza]

Hi guys,
I think we had better learn some expressions to get rid of getting mixed-up.For example:
"In (more) detail" means using a lot of details:He described the process in detail.
"Go into detail" means give a lot of details:He was reluctant to go into detail about the new deal.
"Attention to detail" means all the separate features:Editing requires great attention to detail.
Regards,
Morteza
