snapshot. The background color of the older snapshot is darker than the
background of the newer snapshot. The arrow icon between the snapshot
selectors always points from the older snapshot to the newer one. If the two
snapshots have the same timestamp, the arrow will not be displayed. The scroll
bars are synchronized to view the same portion of each snapshot file
simultaneously. Click and drag the separator bar between the two panes to resize
each pane. At the top of the separator bar between the two panes, click the
