{/* Written by apps/landing-page/scripts/docs/write_cli_reference.py from the kater CLI's own help and scripts/docs/cli-reference.md. Do not edit it by hand: change those, then run the script. */}

Prints both snapshots with their takeaways and the week each read, what happened between them (the timeline's entries and the app's changes), then the figures of those two weeks, with every check of each figure, as kater compare `--app` prints them.

## Examples

```bash
# Compare two kept snapshots of a document or a dashboard
kater snapshot compare <appworkspace> --between <between>
```

## Arguments

<div class="cli-options">

| Argument | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `<appworkspace>` | The app's id, such as app_129abe379bbf43b5a7012c252157e634, or a workspace's full path for its dashboard's weekly snapshots. |

</div>

## Options

<div class="cli-options">

| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `--between <between>` | Required. Two kept snapshots by their runs, as kater snapshot list prints them, such as run_0123…,run_4567…. |

</div>

It also takes the [global options](https://kater.ai/docs/cli-reference/global-options/) `--json` and `--help`.
