The Change Reporter tool allows you to find changes made to individual feature classes or an entire geodatabase between specified dates or between versions. The changes reported are additions, modifications, tables, deletions made in feature classes, and data-driven elements that impact one or more charts. Once found, these changes are automatically committed to the Reviewer table for further examination. The feature classes and tables to be analyzed by the Change Reporter tool are stored in preferences and any supplementary areas of interest to be used in the analysis.
This tool can only be run on Charting production databases that have versioning and archiving enabled. Therefore, it can only be run on an desktop geodatabase or an enterprise geodatabase.
