# Compare Model Versions

Updated data or changed model settings can motivate the creation of a new model version. Compare model versions to better understand what's changed between them.

### Required Editions

Note Einstein Discovery stories are now models. We wish we could snap our fingers to update the name everywhere, but you can expect to see the previous name in a few places until we replace it.

Compare model versions to examine the effects of changes on your analysis. For example, suppose Einstein notifies you that the data in your dataset has changed, and you created a new model version. You can compare the latest version with a previous version to learn more about how changes in your data affected the outcome. Similarly, suppose you changed model settings—such as adding or removing a column, setting a filter, or making a recommended update. If you created a new model version, then you can compare it with a previous version to determine which settings produce better results.

1. Open a model with multiple versions then click **Data Insights**. The overview prompts the user with a **What Changed?** button, including a change summary with the net difference between versions.

2. Click **What Changed?** to compare the current version to a previous one. Einstein automatically selects the immediately previous version and compares them side by side.

3. To compare with a different version, select it from the dropdown list.
