How Complete Compare Works › Resolve Differences Dialog › Save a Complete Compare Snapshot

Save a Complete Compare Snapshot

While you work in the Complete Compare Resolve Differences dialog, you can mark a row as a "known difference" and save your selections as a snapshot. When you mark a row as a known difference, you remove it from the list of differences displayed in the Resolve Differences dialog, effectively filtering it out of the compare scenario.

Before you can save a snapshot of known differences, you first select the rows you want to include in the snapshot, then click the Mark Known Difference icon.
