    About this task

    Your widget may be using potentially problematic code from any of the following records:
    • Widget Dependencies
    • Angular Providers
    • Angular ng-templates

    You can compare versions for these related records directly from your portal page to check code changes for each related record.

    Note:
    There's no option to compare versions for Widget Dependency records. Also, there's no option to compare versions for related records that you created. You can only compare versions of a base system record that you modified.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to a portal page.
    2. On the page, open the widget context menu by CTRL+right-clicking any widget.
    3. On the widget context menu, click Show Widget Customizations.

      Widgets are color-coded as follows:

      Color Customization level
      Green Base system widget
      Yellow Cloned widget
      Blue New widget
      Red Customized widget
    4. On a widget, click the information icon (Information icon).

      Related records that you modified or developed are outlined in red.

    5. Next to a Angular Provider or ng-template record, click Compare.

      The system displays the records of the current and previous versions side by side.

      Although both sides are labeled Version, the left-side record represents the previous version and the right-side record represents the current version.

    6. For each field in which it appears, click the window icon (Window icon) to open the code comparator.

      Your most recent changes to the widget code are highlighted in the code comparator.
