Comparing changes
Comparing changes in application artifacts allows you to quickly check differences between two versions of the same component or between two exported artifacts. This lets you:
analyze changes made by the team,
verify dependency compliance,
prepare components for migration or deployment.
These features are available in the Difference and Compare artifactstabs located in the Overview module in Eximee Designer.
The Difference – comparing versions of the same artifact
Allows you to compare two versions of the same application artifact, e.g. a form, a script, or a composite component.
How does it work?
The user selects an artifact (e.g. a form) from the list.
Then they choose two versions: the “left” and the “right”.
The system displays differences between the versions – these can be changes in content, code, structure, or properties.
This functionality allows a detailed review of changes before saving a new version, when browsing history, or in team collaboration.
The Compare artifacts – comparing two exported artifacts
Enables comparison of two files .xml or .json with exported application artifacts – focusing on their dependencies.
How does it work?
The user drags two files into the drag & drop.
The system analyzes dependencies and presents a list of differences.
Types of detected differences:
➕ New dependency – appears only in the second file.
➖ Removed dependency – appeared only in the first file.
🔁 Dependency version difference – the dependency refers to the same artifact but with a different version.
If no differences are detected, the message appears: "No data to display".
When to use comparison?
Before publishing a new component version – to make sure what has changed.
During code review – to assess changes made by the team.
During migration – to compare exports between environments.
During integration – to ensure that dependencies match expectations.
