Comparing two versions of a packaged component

The Compare Packaged Components feature allows you to view configuration differences between two versions of a packaged component.

  1. From the Deploy menu, select Packaged Components.

    The Packaged Components page opens.

  2. From the list, locate a packaged component that you want to compare versions of.

    You can review the Component Name and Version columns to find your selection, or apply search filters.

  3. Click the Actions icon for the packaged component version that you want to compare, and then select Compare Packaged Components.

    The Compare Packaged Components dialog opens with the selected version.

  4. In the Compare to field, choose one of the following:

    • Latest Revision in Development — This option compares the latest revision of the selected component that is saved on Build tab with the version you selected in Step 3. Essentially, you are comparing the configuration changes of a non-packaged version of a single component with a version that is packaged.

    • Another version — This option allows you to pick another version of the same packaged component, if the component was packaged multiple times.

  5. Click Compare.

    The Compare Packaged Components Results dialog opens and displays the primary component and any child components in the table, if applicable. The table shows the component's name, type, and compares the selected version and the latest version in development, including component revision, modified date, and the last user who modified a version of the component.

  6. Under both Component Revision headers, click the links to open both versions of the selected component on the Build tab, which allows you to compare configuration differences between them.

    Important

    When a row in the table is highlighted yellow, it indicates that configuration changes occurred between selected versions of the component. If the row is not highlighted, it indicates that no configuration changes occurred between versions.

  7. Optional: Filter rows by clicking With Changes or Without Changes at the top of the table to see if configuration changes occurred between both selected versions of the packaged components. The table lists the primary and child components individually that are included in the packaged component.

  8. Optional: To select a different version to compare, click Back and repeat steps 4 and 5.

  9. When you are done comparing the two packaged component versions, click Close.
