This extension compares any two objects or its records (could be from same org or different orgs) and highlights all the differences found. It can show you the following

- Which fields are missing in target org.
- Which fields are missing in source org
- which fields have metadata difference (change in formula, datatype , required etc.)

Yehoshua {Jeff} Krakowski (ID: 0000007d79afa408) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/28/2023 used to work but it stopped happy to give great reveiw once fixed

icon

J B (ID: 000000d009795e61) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/07/2022 This is the only working extension I could find that would allow dumping of all the fields and data for an object. I then simply copy and paste into Excel for review. Very helpful! Salesforce Inspector should allow this also, but the extension is always disabled (grayed out) for me.

Rahul Rawat (ID: 0000009db0418940) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/21/2022 The extension is very useful. Please add an option to save the results in excel and pdf format preserving the original content.

Joel Duinkerke (ID: 000000a312d24b5f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/21/2020 Easy to use, very helpful for migration both Lightning and Classic. Toggle between the UI if it doesn't work first time.
