    Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

    Enterprise Modeling and Visualization diagrams often have complex architecture layers like business capabilities, application hierarchy, process flows- where manual comparison can be time-consuming or error-prone. Using the diagram change analysis Now Assist skill, you can quickly generate a change summary.

    You can compare any two diagram versions, not just adjacent versions. For example, you can compare version 3.0 with version 1.0, or version 4 with version 2.

    The change summary generated by Now Assist consists of an executive summary of the changes between the primary version and the version to compare.The change summary also consists of the details of the shapes or entities that have been added, modified, or removed in the primary version in comparison to the version to be compared.

    2. Open the Modeling page by selecting the Enterprise Modeling and Visualization icon (Enterprise Modeling and Visualization icon.).
    3. Select the diagram that you want to compare versions for.
    4. Select Compare versions.
