Compare Two Versions Elements of The Same Application

Question

Hello! Is there a way to compare the elements/forms/workflow design/forms/code/etc... changes between two versions of the same application? Thanks!

There are several ways to do this. Assuming that the latest version of the App is version 100 and you want to compare latest version (100) to an older version (90) and both versions are checked in and published : 
 Open the Process App from the local cache or from repository. If you open it from the repository you may get a warning that you're about to over-write the local cache copy with the version from the repo. This is OK if and only if you do not have any pending changes that you want to keep and that have not been checked in . 
 In Composer, select File / Compare then select version 90. 
 Another way to compare is to load the "older" version to be compared into Composer then export it as a Blueprint file. Then open the latest version and do File / Compare against a local file. 
 
 The Composer "Compare" tool is pretty amazing .... It highlights differences and allows you to copy/paste from one version to another. It's powerful enough that it will take a while to understand everything that it can do. 
 
 You can even compare different applications .... I've never done this so I don't know how it would work.
