Side-by-side quoting versus multi-version quoting

PolicyCenter provides two ways to generate alternate versions of a policy quote: side-by-side quoting and multi-version quoting. The two options are mutually exclusive.

The following table compares and contrasts some of the features of side-by-side quoting and multi-version quoting.

Side-by-Side Quoting
