# Schema Differentiation using UI

We can compare two schemas by following some steps as follows:

### 1. Start Comparison by choosing Schemas:

We click on **Compare** button present in Schemas tab as shown below:

### 2. Comparison View

#### 2.1 Parameters

**UUID** : configures whether differences in UUIDs and Header IDs are taken into consideration when comparing blocks

| Parameter     | Definition                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Don't compare | UUIDs and Header IDs are not involved in comparison of the blocks and their Properties.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| All UUID      | <p>Differences in UUIDs and Header IDs are taken into consideration when comparing blocks and their Properties.<br><em>(For example, when two schemas are exactly the same in every property they will still be considered as different due to differences in the values of IDs which by definition are always different)</em></p> |

### 2.2 Sections

1\. **Main** – comparison of the main fields of schemas.

2\. **Schema Fields** – comparison results of the schema fields.

**Display settings** *–* description and show/hide settings for each color/type of difference

| Color         | Purpose                                                                                                                                      |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Green         | fields are identical                                                                                                                         |
| Green - Amber | when fields are embedded schemas, and these schemas are identical. The fields themselves are not different because their UUIDs are different |
| Amber         | fields are partially equal                                                                                                                   |
| Red           | fields are absent in the other Policy                                                                                                        |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.guardianservice.app/technical-information/users/standard-registry-users-schemas-and-policies/schemas/schema-differentiation/schema-differentiation-using-ui.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
