# Analyzing Changes

Track what changed between snapshots

# Analyze Changes

> **Note:** This feature is critical for Snapshot analysis but often missed.

## 🎯 Intent Triggers
*If the user asks about:*
-   "How do I see what changed?"
-   "Drilling into new rows"
-   "Tracking deleted items"
-   "Snapshot variance analysis"

## 🧠 Core Concept: Change Detection

The "Analyze Changes" toggle in the Explorer **Config** tab unlocks special grouping attributes derived from Scoop's Snapshot engine.

When enabled, it exposes a new Group By option called **"Change Status"** (or similar), which segments your data into:
1.  **Added:** Rows present today but not in the previous snapshot.
2.  **Removed:** Rows present previously but missing today.
3.  **Modified:** Rows where a value (e.g., Stage, Amount) changed.
4.  **Unchanged:** Rows that are identical.

## 📝 Solution Recipe: Visualizing Pipeline Changes

**Scenario:** You want to see how your sales pipeline changed since last week.

1.  **Open Explorer:** Load your Opportunity dataset.
2.  **Config Tab:** Open the Right Drawer -> **Properties**.
3.  **Enable Advanced:** Toggle "Advanced" to On.
4.  **Enable Analyze Changes:** Scroll down and toggle "Analyze Changes" to On.
5.  **Group By:** In the "Group By" selector, choose **Change Status** (or the equivalent generated column).
6.  **Visualize:** Use a **Stacked Bar Chart**.
    *   X-Axis: `Time` (Weekly)
    *   Stack: `Change Status`
    *   *Result:* You see bars showing New vs. Lost vs. Modified deals each week.

## 💡 "Pro Tip"
*   "Combine 'Analyze Changes' with 'Process Mining' (Sankey Chart) to visualize the *flow* of modifications (e.g., 'Prospecting' -> 'Qualification')."
