Comparing packages
Introduction
When a package is deployed, all process flow versions included in that package are deployed to the selected virtual environment. If a version of a flow already exists in the given virtual environment, it is replaced by the package version.
With this in mind, it's good practice to check what the impact of deploying a package will be before you go ahead and deploy it. To do this, you can use the package compare feature.
Using the package compare feature
Access virtual environment packages
Log in to the dashboard and select virtual environments | packages from the left-hand navigation menu.
Find the required package
Locate the package that you want to compare (you can scroll the list, step through multiple pages, or search):
Select the compare option
Click the ellipsis icon associated with the required package, then select the compare option:
Select a virtual environment
Click in the virtual environment field and select the required virtual environment - i.e. the environment against which you want to compare process flow versions for the package. For example:
Review comparison details
A comparison table is displayed, so you can see how deploying flow versions in this package will affect the selected virtual environment - for example:
Comparison details are summarised below:
1
Flow
Each process flow in this package is listed as a comparison entry.
2
Version
The flow version to be deployed via this package is displayed with a green tick. If a version of the same process flow exists in the selected virtual environment, it's shown below with a red cross:
Last updated
