## Compare lineage

With Paradime compare lineage feature you can select a base and compare branch to highlight nodes with code changes and their respective downstream dependencies.

This allows you to identify the downstream impact of changes to your dbt™️ models all the way to your BI dashboards.

From the lineage home screen, or from the canvas controller, select the compare branch option and choose your `base` and `compare` branch.
