As you adjust heat opacity in the bottom right, you can only view the transparency of heat in a Click map. If you're comparing two click maps, the opacity is adjusted for both the heatmaps.
At any point, you can Clear any side of the Heatmap and compare it with a different URL. This also clears all the applied filters.
Exit compare mode
Select the close icon on any Heatmap to exit the compare mode.
You're out of compare mode once you move to a different vertical such as Recordings or Dashboard and change a filter or segment.
Once you refresh the page, you're out of compare mode.
