To review policy changes for compliance with your organization’s standards or to optimize system 
performance, you can examine the differences between any two file policies, or two revisions of the same 
policy. 

The file policy comparison view displays two file policies or revisions in a side-by-side format, with the 
time of last modification and the last user to modify displayed next to each policy name. Differences 
between the two policies are highlighted:

Blue indicates that the highlighted setting is different in the two policies, and the difference is noted 
in red text. 

Green indicates that the highlighted setting appears in one policy but not the other.

You can navigate through the differences by clicking 

 and 

. The double-arrow icon (

) 

centered between the left and right sides moves, and the 

number adjusts to identify which 

difference you are viewing. Optionally, you can generate a file policy comparison report, which is a PDF 
version of the comparison view.
