To put it into perspective

Does it mean to make a comparison ?
Thank you.

Yes, if you put something in perspective you compare a situation, problem, issue, etc. you add more context to it in order to get a more object view on it. You compare it against something else or you measure it by using a certain criteria.

Please let me know if this makes any sense.
