Compare and restore lab versions

Save a labeled checkpoint, make a topology and device configuration change, and compare it with your baseline. Review and cancel a rollback before confirming it, then check the restored working lab and the new current version. Delete an older checkpoint while keeping your working lab and current saved version. Save device configurations before creating checkpoints: versions store saved startup configuration. Compare targets your current lab. Plan limits can remove the oldest saved version when saving or rolling back.
