Review what a change set changes

Compare proposed work with the data the change set started from. See Change sets.

  1. From Change sets, choose Open change set to open Changes in this change set. If you are already browsing its data, choose Review changes in the amber band. Confirm its name; open Details for its source. If it started from a publication, the earlier values come from that publication, not today’s Live.
  2. Under Records, filter by change kind or record type. Open a row to read before/after values and paths. A moved record names both parents. A type-change filter can match either its old or new type, so check the difference itself.
  3. Open Relationships and inspect additions, changes and removals separately. A record review alone does not account for every changed connection.
  4. Scroll or jump through the lists. The address retains the tab, filters and position so you can return to the same part of the review.
  5. Choose See the data with these changes to return to editing for corrections, then choose More change set actions › Validate now. You can also choose Publish, which checks before confirmation. Resolve its named problems and validate the new version again before publishing or submitting.

A record created and deleted in the same change set contributes no remaining change and is omitted. A record edited back to its original values can still count as changed, because publication still checks the version it claims. A successful validation is not protection against later Live conflicts; publication checks again.
