Compare Policy Snapshots

You can compare any two policy snapshots from the list to check for changes between policy installations.

1. Open the comparison in one of the following ways:
   • To compare any two snapshots to each other, select two policy snapshots, right-click, and select Compare Snapshots .
   • To compare a policy snapshot to the Engine's current policy, right-click a policy snapshot and select Compare > Compare Snapshot to Engine’s Current Policy.
   • To compare a policy snapshot to the most recently saved policy on the SMCaaS Application, right-click the policy snapshot and select Compare > Compare Snapshot to Most Recently Saved Policy
   The changes are highlighted in the policy and shown as a summary.
2. Select objects in the summary to focus on them.
   For example, if you select a network element, its properties are shown. The objects are organized in the following groups:

   • Targets — The Engine on which the policy has been saved.
   • New Elements — Elements added to the policy.
   • Removed Elements — Elements that have been removed from the policy.
   • Modified Elements — Elements that exist in both policies but that have been edited.
