 You can compare revisions with `compare X Y` command, where X and Y are revision numbers. The output will describe how the configuration X is when compared to Y, indicating with a plus sign (**+**) the additional parts X has when compared to y, and indicating with a minus sign (**-**) the lacking parts x misses when compared to y.

 Configuring the archive size
-----------------------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 You can specify the number of revisions stored on disk with `set system config-management commit-revisions X`, where X is a number between 0 and 65535. When the number of revisions exceeds that number, the oldest revision is removed.
 
 Remote archive
---------------
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 VyOS can copy the config to a remote location after each commit. TFTP, FTP, and SFTP servers are supported.
