Comparing BOMs
You can compare any of the BOMs
listed on the Bill of Materials tab for a file. After you compare two
BOMs, you can open the BOM comparison data as a .csv file.
When you compare two BOMs, the union of all entries from both BOMs appears
in the BOM comparison. Colors indicate differences between BOMs.
