Menu diff tool
----------------

.. _20.1.1|VOSS-670|EKB-4868:


System level (hcsadmin, entadmin) and provider administrators have access
to the Menu Diff tool on the menu to allow for a side-by-side comparison and management 
of two selected menu layouts: 

* **Source Menu**: a drop-down list of menu layouts from hierarchies
  at the administrator's hierarchy *and higher*. 
* **Target Menu**: a drop-down list of menu layouts from hierarchies
  at the administrator's hierarchy *and lower*. 

The side-by-side forms with the two selected menus
can be expanded using the **Expand**/**Collapse** button. 

Menu differences are highlighted as follows:

* The same menu item in both menus but on a different menu path is highlighted.
* A menu item in one menu but not in the other menu is highlighted.

To update the target menu, drag and drop menu items
from the source menu to a position in the target menu.

* Where a menu item is now in both menus, it is not highlighted anymore.

.. note::

   * All menu properties (e.g. Field Display Policy, model reference, and so on)
     are copied.
   * If the menu item than is copied contains sub-menus, these are included.

Click **Save** to save changes in the target menu.
