Working with Code Analysis History in Visual Expert

Visual Expert maintains a comprehensive history of code analyses within a centralized repository.
This repository allows you to monitor code evolution, review inspection results, and compare multiple versions of analyzed code.

As analyses are refreshed regularly, the volume of stored data can grow significantly. Over time, it may become necessary to review or clean up older analysis records. Visual Expert offers built-in filtering capabilities to help you navigate this data efficiently—by version, date, or other project-specific criteria.

This page explains how to use these filters to effectively manage and exploit your analysis history.
