The transition from the legacy metadata comparison to the upgraded comparison workflow is now complete. For an overview on how to use it see our user guides.


With the metadata comparison upgrade you get improved UI and faster comparison performance:

  • Faster comparisons based on the existing comparison history of the org

  • Easier selection of metadata types to compare in real time

  • On-demand item level retrieval to prioritize metadata that you want to see first

  • Added support for only refreshing specific metadata types and improved item level refresh performance

  • Added custom date range filtering for metadata

  • Support for source tracking for orgs that have it enabled

  • Item difference type and date changed information is now included for named items in the comparison filter

  • Selected items can now be broken down into their specific types. Note - selected items is now located at the top of the new sidebar.
