A chrome extension to improve the usability of Salesforce change sets

NEW! Release 3.0!
Now Lightning Compatible!

Features include:
- Includes the last modified date and user and api name for each item.
- Automatically ordered by most recent modified first
- Filter/Search/Order by any field.
- Sets all pages to show the 1000 rows. If more than 1000 items in a page, asks if you want to continue to retrieve more.
- View and Search on items in the change set. This allows you to see the whole change set and search to make removing much easier.

Jake Bullard (ID: 00000042680af350) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/12/2023 Game changer. This tool makes change set useable.

icon

Marc Feeney (ID: 000000694a7e2389) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/21/2023 If you use change sets, this is an absolutely crucial tool -- especially if you are in an older org with tons of records and metadata. I've not really found much use in the compare functions, but the auto-sort of component lists alone is incredibly helpful. It automatically sorts components by type and last modified date, which saves time every time for every element you add to a change set. If you aren't making a move to DevOps, do yourself a favor and install this extension!
