This view helps you compare the open and closed issues between two different scans.

You can use it to compare two successive scans to understand which existing issues have been closed properly and which new ones have been added. Or you can use it to compare two remote scan dates and see the progression of issues over time. 

Ways to use this view

• If you're an architect or a platform admin, you can use this view to compare the issues introduced over time. This is used to identify issues introduced between al scans, and helps to identify trends or common temporal situations.
