Solution Component Comparison Tool

Compare Dataverse solutions across two environments, highlight missing items and definition mismatches, and review results in one PPTB-native grid.

What It Does

This Power Platform ToolBox tool:

• requires a primary and secondary Dataverse connection
• lets you choose one solution in each environment
• compares the selected solutions across multiple component scopes
• highlights:
  • missing tables
  • missing fields
  • field data type mismatches
  • table setting mismatches
  • form, view, app, process, flow, and web resource definition mismatches
  • matched components for review
