A snapshot is a read-only version of an environment's configurations at a given time. When necessary, you can compare snapshots of an environment's configurations.
Selecting environment snapshots to compare
The Compare snapshots page in Admin Center allows you to compare two read-only saved versions of your environments. You can compare two snapshots of the same environment, or snapshots of two different environments.
- In Admin Center, click
Account in the sidebar, then select Configuration management > Compare versions.
- Under Compare, select the first saved snapshot you want to compare.
- Under To, select the second saved snapshot you want to compare.
As soon as values are selected in both fields, the read-only comparison is generated.
Identifying differences between two snapshots
When viewing a comparison of snapshots, you can drill-down into each configuration to see what has been added, modified, and deleted. Within the comparison, old versions of a configuration are highlighted in red and new versions of a configuration are highlighted in green.
- Modified: The configuration item exists in both snapshots, but has some differences.
- New: The configuration item exists only in the To snapshot.
- Deleted: The configuration item exists only in the Compare snapshot.
