Comparing the contents of two deployments

On the Deployments page, use the Compare Deployment action to compare the contents of two deployments.

A deployment consists of a single version of a packaged component that has been deployed to a specified environment. This comparison provides an historical view of deployments over time.

   The Deployment History panel is displayed.

   The Compare Deployment dialog opens with the selected version in the Selected Deployment Version field.

   

3. In the Compare Deployment to field do one of the following:

   • Select Latest Component Revision.
   • Select Another Deployment Version and select a version number from the drop-down list.

4. Click Compare.

   The comparison results are displayed. Differences between the two deployment versions are highlighted.

   

5. To contact the user who last modified a specific component within either version of the deployment, click the email address in the Modified By field.

   Your email application opens with the user's name in the To field of a new message.

6. To select a different version with which to compare, click Back and repeat steps 3 and 4.

7. When you are done comparing the two deployment versions, click Close.
