Comparing versions

Tick two snapshots, then click Compare Versions. A diff drawer shows the two configurations side by side and highlights what changed between them- handy for spotting unplanned changes or confirming a config push.

Each version is labelled with its capture time; the change counter and the up/down arrows jump between the differences.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • Compare Versions is hidden. It appears only when exactly two snapshots are selected.
  • No snapshots. The device hasn't been polled for its configuration yet- check its credential profile and polling interval on Device Details.
