compare WRKF with components

[biolekm]

Hi,

is there a way to compare WRKF when I use components? Compare function does not look inside the component so there is no way to check if nodes in components are configures same/different.

Hello @biolekm,

not really. One workaround is to share Components and then do Component comparison and another one is to use Metanodes instead as they are expanded when comparing workflows. Additionally if I understood it correctly if components are same two hash numbers will be same so this is an indication of change between versions. More about it can be read here:

Thanks for reply. I knew about the metanode workaround. Just wanted to know if there is a way with component either. It seems that there is not.
