I’d like the idea of using the Run Comparer, but I can find a way to select which runs to display, nor which parameters I want to display. As I have 100 runs in my project, it seems to be selecting 10 runs at random, none of which are actually the ones I want to compare. There are also lots of parameters that I’m not interested in for this particular evaluation. Unless I’m missing something, I assume a feature would need to be added to allow the user the select the runs and parameters. ---

Hi @jearly You can control which runs to display by clicking the 👁 icon on the Run set below your panels. You can toggle “diff only” to show only the parameters which have different values across the runs displayed. ---

Hi @_scott Thanks for the quick response! Just to clarify, I have the runs on the LHS with 100 visualised. I can see that if I deselect the eye icon for a run, then it does indeed disappear from the Run Comparer, but it also disappears from my other plots. Selecting “diff only” helps somewhat with reducing the parameters, but there remains a lot of info there that I would prefer to be hidden (for simplicity). To give a bit more detail on my use case: - I have optimised an ML model with 100 different param configs, and have plots like this (i.e., displaying all 100 runs). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/wandb/original/1X/38d37a27d720d6582c39070c45ea718cab864f9f.png) - For a select number of runs, I would then like to compare the parameters that were found using the Run Comparer. But currently the run comparer is very big with a lot of information that I want to reduce. - So ideally I’d like to keep all 100 runs for the top plots, and then select specific runs in the run comparer, which I believe I’m not currently able to do. ---

Here’s what the run comparer looks like for me: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/wandb/original/1X/644afd910b2dbbdbdf5768bed4e280d06430bd3d.png) ---

This would be a great opportunity to create a Report and do your analysis there. You can add multiple plots with different Run Sets. To do so, click “Create Report” and within the Report, type ‘/’ and add a PanelGrid and add the panels you care about (your line plots and run comparers). Let me know if you have any issues with this. ---
