After running several experiments, you can visually compare the obtained results via the dedicated Comparison screen:

The screen looks similar to the experiment dashboard, but shows the inputs and outputs of several experiments simultaneously:

1. The coinciding input values of the compared experiments are displayed in grey.
2. The differing input values of the compared experiments are displayed in color.
3. The output values are displayed in the Outputs section.

To compare several experiment results

1. Click the  Compare button in the experiment toolbar. The Comparison screen will open up and the selected experiment will appear in the Compare experiments section of the sidebar:

   

2. To include another experiment to the comparison, select the checkbox next to the experiment’s name. The experiment will be added to the Compare experiments section (to exclude an experiment from comparison, clear the checkbox next to the experiment’s name):

   

3. You can now visually compare the experiments’ results in the dashboard.
   To customize the colors used for displaying the experiment’s results, click the colored circle next to the name of the experiment, and select the desired color from the drop-down menu:

   

Starting with Cloud 2.8.1, depending on the chart type, outputs are distinguished using colors, line patterns, or automatically generated color variations based on the selected experiment color.

The legend is organized by output. Under each output, it shows how the compared experiments are represented. To hide or show the output on the chart, click an output name. Hidden outputs are grayed out in the legend.

To exit comparison

1. Click the Exit Comparison button in the experiment toolbar.
