Comparing object revisions
You can compare past revisions of an object to the current revision, compare different revisions selected in the list, or compare a revision of an object to a revision of another object of the same type.
To compare revisions of an object:
- Select an object and proceed to the properties window of the object.
- In the properties window, proceed to the Revision history section.
- In the workspace, in the list of object revisions select the revision for comparison.
To select more than one revision of the object, use the Shift and Ctrl keys.
- Do one of the following:
- Click the Compare split button and select one of the values in the drop-down list:
- Double-click the name of a revision, and in the revision properties window that opens click one of the following buttons:
A report in HTML format about comparison of the revisions is displayed in your default browser.
In this report, you can minimize some of the sections containing revision settings. To minimize a section with object revision settings, click the arrow icon (
) next to the section name.
Administration Server revisions include all details of changes made, except for details from the following areas:
- Traffic section
- Tagging rules section
- Notification section
- Distribution points section
- Virus outbreak section
No information is recorded, from the Virus outbreak section, about the configuration of policy activation that occurs when a Virus outbreak event is triggered.
You can compare revisions of a deleted object to a revision of an existing object, but not the reverse: you cannot compare revisions of an existing object to a revision of a deleted object.
