## Comparison Tabs

Panaya displays four tabs allowing a clear comparison for Clones. **Current vs. Clone** - This is the cloned program with any additional customization **Current vs. New**- This is the Vanilla Code of the current system (before the upgrade) **Clone vs. New**- This is the Vanilla Code of the target version (the version you wish to upgrade to) **Correction Proposal** - This is the suggested correction for the program![](https://cdn.document360.io/f404076c-de23-4609-848e-2dfd4ef701b0/Images/Documentation/image-1648627656605.png)

**Why is my program code different than it is displayed in Panaya?**

If the code extraction tool was executed on a non-upgraded system, Panaya displays the Vanilla Code from a sample system (similar to your target version system). This is usually the case when extracting your Custom Code for the first time. Since this is a sample system provided by Panaya and does not include your modification, differences may appear in the Code Comparison View for the Vanilla Code.

The vanilla code will be retrieved from your upgraded system once you extract the Custom Code from an upgraded system.
