Alternatively the user can select two scans using the multi-line checkboxes and select Compare Scans from the resulting Actions menu:
...
The resulting Scan Comparison page will detail the oldest scan on the left, with the latest being on the right. Here you can view at a glance the major differences between the two scans.

Prism allows you to compare two scans side by side to assist with comparing results. When using the compare scans button, Prism will identify any False Positive or Accept Risk Issues that are an exact match, and provide you with the option to bring that same status forward into the latest scan.
This will speed up the data validation stage and get users onto the remediation tasks much quicker. This powerful capability enables users to track changes over time, gain valuable insights into project performance, and make informed decisions based on comprehensive data analysis.
