The operation generates the Comparison report as PDF and adds it to the execution reports tab. Compares the package version artifact against the Salesforce Org and generates a report with all the differences. This operation can be used in Build, PreDeploy, Deploy, or Utility workflow.
The typical use case would be generating a report as part of preDeploy to generate the report for the Salesforce Org that the package getting deployed to. So that users can review and approve the change to complete the deployment. You can use it after building the package version artifact in the build workflow by specifying the input of Salesforce Org accounts. So that it will generate a report for each Salesforce Org selected.
The report generates the following Pages:
Summary page with package details and summary of counts indicated total, new, and modified objects.
Count of New and Modified objects for each Object Type that is part of the packaged artifact.
List of New Objects (if new objects are part of packaged artifact)
List of Modified Objects (if modified objects are part of packaged artifact)
Changes for each modified object (if modified objects are part of packaged artifact)
Please note that if you have sub-components in the package, it will compare to the full object file in this version. When you read the report consider only your sub-component section in the Changes (#5 above) section.
