Use the Assessment Comparison window to compare any two assessments saved from the same policy. You can compare assessments previously saved from the default All Servers policy or from any custom policy you created. For example, you may want to compare a draft assessment of this quarter's All Servers audit to an approved assessment of last quarter's All Servers audit.

To compare assessments:

• Select one of the assessments you want compare and click Compare Assessments in the ribbon options of the Summary tab of your selected assessment.
• The selected assessment is displayed in Assessment 1, click the drop-down options to select another assessment or the corresponding policy. Notice, it will only display the respective policy and its associated assessments. You can select from draft, published, or approved assessments. 
• You can select to compare All Servers or a specific SQL Server instance from the list of available instances in the drop-down options.
• Select the Assessment 2 to which you want to compare Assessment 1.

The Compare Assessment results will be displayed in the section below with the following three tabs:

• Compare Summaries
• Compare Security checks
• Compare Internal Review Notes
