Comparing global configurations

Compare global configurations to see content differences between milestones, for example, between Sprint 7 and Sprint 8. The comparison report shows you the child configurations in each configuration that are included, missing, or different.

1. Select a global configuration in the tree view, right-click, and select Compare With.
2. Select the stream or baseline to compare the selected configuration with.
   1. In the Compare With dialog box, type a configuration name to search for configurations of the same component. When you clear the Show only configurations of the same component checkbox, you can look for configurations across all components within the selected project area.
      Tip: You can also type * in the search box to list configurations across all the components.
   2. If necessary, click the Filters icon and type the global configuration name to narrow the results.
   3. To examine a stream to view its baselines and baseline staging streams, hover over the stream and click Show.
      You can select a baseline or baseline staging stream for comparison, or return to the previous view by clicking Back to Search Results.
   4. Make your selection and click Compare.
3. View the comparison report on the Compare Configurations page.

   In the following example, you can see that the baseline staging stream on the right side contains one more stream compared to the global stream on the left.

   If you click the Swap Sides icon, you can view the same change in the opposite context. The global stream on the right side contains one less stream as compared to the baseline staging stream on the left.

   The symbols between the results show you the changes between the two global configurations.

   • A plus sign shows that configurations were added.
   • A minus sign shows that configurations were removed.
   • The delta symbol shows that the same configuration was modified in some way.
