Browsing your metadata

The Browse metadata tab turns any capture into a complete, explorable copy of your org's configuration — a file browser for your metadata. It's the tab a baseline capture opens on, since a baseline has no changes to show yet.

The metadata tree​

The left pane is a folder tree grouped by metadata type: expand ApexClass, Flow, CustomObject, Profile, or any other captured type to list its components. Click a component to open it in the detail pane.

The detail pane: three views​

For every component:

  • Source — the component's full definition, pretty-printed for readability. For components that ship with a companion settings file, both are shown. Binary components (like static resources and documents) offer a download instead.
  • History — every change this component went through across all captures, newest first. Click an entry to open its diff.
  • Compare — diff this component against the same component in another of your connected orgs (latest capture). Perfect for "is this validation rule the same in the sandbox and production?".

Ask AI about a component​

Click Ask AI on a component to open the Org Assistant with that component preloaded — useful when a 400-line Flow definition answers your question less quickly than a plain-language summary would.

Typical workflows​

Sandbox vs. production drift Open a shared component → Compare → pick the other org. Differences appear immediately.

Post-incident archaeology Browse to the suspect component → History → walk backward through its diffs until you find the change that introduced the problem — and the capture date tells you when it went in.
