# Compare flows

You can make a visual comparison between any two flows. For example, if a flow was created based on another flow you may want to view your changes compared to the original flow. You can also compare to other flows in the same process or library.

If a flow is created as a copy of another flow, you can compare the changes between the current flow and its original flow or other copies of the flow.

You can also compare the flow with any other flow. To do so, on the **Compare to** dialog, set the **Show only flows of the '...' process** toggle button to **No**.
