Adobe Experience Platform Launch has been rebranded as a suite of data collection technologies in Adobe Experience Platform. Several terminology changes have rolled out across the product documentation as a result. Please refer to the following document for a consolidated reference of the terminology changes.
Compare resource revisions to see the history of an individual resource. You can compare the current state of the resource to older versions, or compare the currently published version of a resource to the most recent set of changes that have been saved.
Initiating a comparison is the same for all resource types. Open the Edit view for an individual resource, then find the three dots icon next to the Save button to view available actions for that resource. Select Compare Revisions from the list.
For extensions, access the detail view by selecting the Configure button when viewing your list of installed extensions. For data elements and rules, select one from the list.
When you initiate a comparison, the default view shows the latest version on the right. This version includes any unsaved changes you’ve made to the resource within the Edit view. (Notice the “Unsaved Changes” label on the right in the picture below.)
On the left, you can choose from any existing revisions to compare to “Latest.”
Select Use These Changes to copy the settings from your selected revision (left) to the latest version (right). This copies the settings from the old revision to the latest unsaved changes. If you want these changes to stick, be sure to Save after exiting the Compare view.
Individual resources can have both attributes and settings. These settings are stored as a JSON block, which is a structured way to store data, but flexible enough that extension developers can put whatever they need to make their extensions do what they want.
The initial release of Compare view displays settings in their raw form as JSON. Future enhancements will allow you to view versions in different ways, including detailed code comparisons and using the extension views provided by the extension developers.
Extensions have a single screen to show the differences between versions.
In Compare view, differences between settings versions are highlighted. Additions and removals to individual settings are indicated by an expansion of a line in either direction.
Above, you can see the following changes:
orgID
and currencyCode
are changed to the settings indicated by the expansion of the orange section in the settings.Data elements have a single screen to show differences, but because data elements have additional attributes besides their settings, additional information is shown. Attributes that have changed are highlighted in orange.
Above, you can see the following changes:
In cases where the settings block is large, you can expand the settings section so you can see it better.
Rules consist of many rule components. To understand the changes to a rule, you need to know about the addition and removal of components as well as modifications to an individual component. So, when you compare versions of a rule, there are actually two screens.
The first screen shows a high-level view, which highlights changes to the arrangement of rule components within the rule. Changes are highlighted. Several different types of changes are shown.
Above, you can see the following changes:
To view the specific modifications to one of the rule components, select the specific component you’d like to view. The line changes to blue when you mouse over.
The comparison for an individual rule component behaves the same as the comparison for a data element.
Above, you can see the following change:
In cases where the settings block is large, you can expand the settings section so you can see it better.
