Tool to run show differences againts golden configuration

During the UAT for “show differences” functionality, we received a feedback from business. Below is the details.

Test Case:
Verify that NCM tool can provide visual configuration comparisons of current or version configuration of a device against golden configuration of the device type

Expected Result:
User can see visual differences between two config highlighted in different colour for configuration that was added, deleted, changed or No Change in native and Modelled view

Feedback: No quick compare button, makes it less usefull

Business is expecting a quick click to perform show differences of configuration of a device against golden configuration of the device type.

TNCM should provide a quick option like “show differences” when user right click on a specified configuration (Current/versioned) of a device and click to perform the show differences against golden configuration so that user don't need to select the master configuration file and target file for comparisons.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
