Does it save the form in an easily comparable XML when you try to compare changes between form versions to see what the difference is when someone doesn't work right?   (for code review)

 

Similiar question for the WF process .kprx file - any tips to easily identify the changes?

The best way I know how to compare XML files is in Notepad++. If you get the XML tools plugin you chould be able to open the files all nicely formated and then you can get the compare plugin which will do just that. You're obviously going to have to look though to know the differences, but they will all be highlighted for you.

Try DiffNow.


 


You can specify XML in the bottom right Document Type dropdown.

So those will work for the K2 process kprx files but not with SmartForms since those don't exist as XML files like the kprx or SmartObjects but only live in the database.  I don't know of a way of doing a comparison of changes between smartforms. 

 

If anyone has some suggestions I'd love to hear it.

Dot think its possible. One way would be to open both pages in a web browser and then compare the source but even then its quite a slow process.
