<figure><img src="https://615225135-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FRQ78yGt6X6zz3qONecCy%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6533d40423401e7d8051f54a97b2ea6315ba9416%2Fimage%20(117).png?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The Table will have the following fields:

| Field       | Description                                     | Example        |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- | -------------- |
| Type        | Type of change, see Key                         | N              |
| Path        | JSON object that has the change                 | {"name"}       |
| First Flow  | Value of the flow selected with the plus icon   | \["Succeeded"] |
| Second Flow | Value of the flow selected with the menu option | \["Skipped"]   |

### Key

* N - indicates a newly added property/element
* D - indicates a property/element was deleted
* E - indicates a property/element was edited
* A - indicates a change occurred within an array

If N then First Flow will be blank, if D then Second flow will be blank

### Additional Functionality

#### JSON Schema

Json file representation of the changes.

* kind - indicates the kind of change; will be one of the following:
  * kN - indicates a newly added property/element
  * kD - indicates a property/element was deleted
  * kE - indicates a property/element was edited
  * kA - indicates a change occurred within an array
* kpath - the property path (from the left-hand-side root)
  * klhs - the value on the left-hand-side of the comparison (undefined if kind === "N")
  * krhs - the value on the right-hand-side of the comparison (undefined if kind === "D")
* kindex - when kind === "A", indicates the array index where the change occurred
* kitem - when kind === "A", contains a nested change record indicating the change that occurred at the array index

#### Download

Downloads a copy of the solution. When a solution is open it is linked to AutoReview so if saved through the browser all flow information will be lost. Downloading separates the solution and ensures the values are permanent.

#### Icon

Clicking the icon jumps back to the top of the page.
