9. Checkpoints and value modes

9.1. Named checkpoints

Edit → Checkpoints → Create for Active Map…, Create for Session… (all parsed maps), Manage… (rename, delete). Up to 20 checkpoints per map and 50 per project; a name of 1 to 64 characters.

Checkpoints are archival snapshots for reference. A map cannot be returned to a checkpoint from the interface; use undo or "Revert Map to Default" for that.

9.2. Highlighting differences from the baseline snapshot

The "Display Options" toolbar → Highlight Differences from Baseline (Ctrl+Shift+D): changed cells are highlighted with the colors from the settings. Independent of the baseline chart (§11.5). During a comparison it counts the differences relative to the comparison file.

9.3. The "Delta", "Deviation %" and "Original" modes

Three mutually exclusive buttons on the "Display Options" toolbar (Ctrl+1, Ctrl+2, Ctrl+3):

ModeWhat the cells show
DeltaCurrent − original
Deviation %Relative deviation
OriginalValues of the baseline snapshot
  • Pressing again turns the mode off; while a mode is on, cell editing is unavailable.
  • If there are no differences from the original, the buttons are unavailable.
  • The mode applies to this map's window.
  • During a comparison (§13) the reference point is the comparison file; the third button shows "1" (off) / "2" (on). When the comparison ends, the mode is reset.
