Is there an Add on to Compare workflows between two instances?

Question

Is there an available add-on to compare workflows between two instances? So we are actually migrating from server to cloud instance and some workflows are pretty complicated and a lot of configurations. Basically, I want to know if there is anyway to compare the workflows from source to target when it comes to configuration. E.g. Post functions, triggers, transitions, properties etc.

Thanks @Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ great idea!  I used the Compare plugin in Notepad++ to compare the two XML files - works brilliantly! Thanks again,

Hi @BG Pantaleon ,

Our app Glass Project Documentation for Jira is able to solve your problem!

We just released our newest feature: Jira Project Comparison, where workflows are compared as well!

You can export your config and upload on a different instance, and highlight changes!

Let me know if you have a question!

Best,
Balázs

Hi @BG Pantaleon ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

As simple method you can export workflows as xml and try to compare xml file in order to find differences. (https://www.idalko.com/how-to-compare-workflows/)
