Diff-ing Changes on Your Salesforce Orgs

Salesforce developers need a source control solution to handle merge conflicts, track changes, and deploy safely. Blue Canvas offers a tool for this.

With this article, learn about the importance of version control for Salesforce development and the challenges associated with versioning on the Force.com platform. I also discovered a new tool in beta called Blue Canvas History Tracking that provides automatic tracking of everything that happens on your Org, making it easier to collaborate and see who is responsible for code changes.

Here are our 5 Key Takeaways:

- Salesforce needs a source control solution to handle merge conflicts and deploy safely.

- There is still no good way to see who changed what when on the Force.com platform.

- Blue Canvas History Tracking is a new tool in beta that provides automatic tracking of everything that happens on your Org, making it easier to collaborate and see who is responsible for code changes.

- Blue Canvas History Tracking is built on Git, making it easy to see detailed diffs of what has actually changed in the code.

- Getting this kind of tracking is as simple as logging into a webpage, and no one needs to learn Git or remember to commit things.
