## Introduction

The Server-Side Change Report Generator is an optional component that generates change reports for the SmartWorkflow feature and supports sending email notifications with the report attached.

A server-side change report (also known as a "Changes Report" or "Diff Report") enables administrators to review and track modifications made to security policies, objects, and configurations: either within a specific session or between revisions. It is a key tool for auditing, troubleshooting, and compliance.

The Server-side Change Report Generator package is installed automatically on all relevant Check Point devices when Automatic Update downloads are enabled (see [sk175504](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk175504), section 2-B).

If Automatic Updates are disabled, you must first manually install the latest [AutoUpdater](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk165653) Take and then install the Server-side Change Report Generator package manually using the steps below.
