Hi, I want to add comparisons with the previous period(s) in my widgets / reports. Is this possible in Piwik Pro (core plan)?  
Thanks  
Kind Regards,  
Sacha

Yes, it’s one of the core features. 🙂

The comparison applies automatically to all dashboards and built-in reports. Same goes for segment comparison.
