Policy Comparison
Compare two active policies of the same type and export the result.
Policy Comparison lives at /{your_org_name}/compare. It compares two active policies and shows where structured fields are the same or different.
Requirements
| Requirement | Reason |
|---|---|
| Both documents are active | Covara compares extracted structured data, not queued files. |
| Both documents have the same policy type | The comparison fields must come from the same schema. |
| The user can access both documents | Comparisons stay inside the selected team account. |
Same type only
Covara blocks comparisons across different policy types. For example, a General Liability policy cannot be compared with a Cyber Liability policy.
Run A Comparison
Open Policy Comparison
Choose Policy Comparison in the sidebar, or choose Compare from a document row action.
Pick the first policy
If you started from a document action, Covara can preselect the first document.
Pick the second policy
Choose another active policy of the same type.
Click Compare Documents
Covara generates a structured comparison grouped by report category and subsection.
Export if needed
Use Actions to export PDF, export CSV, or prepare an email.
Reading Results
Comparison rows show the first policy value, the second policy value, and whether the field is the same or different. Use the result to find renewal changes, coverage gaps, limit differences, and terms that need broker or counsel review.
PDF export is best for sharing a finished comparison with stakeholders.
CSV export is best when the team wants to filter, sort, or annotate differences in a spreadsheet.
