This tab lists all objects of some particular type - tables, views, etc. Allows to identify whether some object is new, changed or unchanged. Note that for tables and views it does not provide information about data/content changes, only about object definitions (like changed column data type for tables or changed select statement for views).
For most object types each side has only 3 columns: Name, Created and Modified. In this case the Name column has a hyperlink that opens text diff tab with object definition. There is one exclusion for the Standard version: 'Table definitions' object type opens table structure diff tab. Object name cell can also contain some additional action buttons for tables and views:
Vertical toolbar between two panels contains additional tab-specific actions:
When bottom text preview is active, it contains three more actions:
At the top of the object list it shows changes summary for each side: total count of objects, new, changed and new+changed count. It also shows the number of selected records.
Also the top panel has a small quick filter button that allows to filter object list by name. This can be very convenient for large object lists. This action is also available with Alt+F keyboard shortcut.
Each object name has a selection checkbox nearby - so you can select the object with the mouse or with the Space button from the keyboard and do some further actions with the selected object - merge, delete, etc. Merge, Delete and Replace actions may have some limitations:
Once you have selected number of rows and clicked merge, replace or delete toolbar button, it will show you the Execute script dialog that will contain SQL script with desired action, so you can review it before apply:
At the bottom panel it shows information about selected object - either object name with create/update date/time or text preview.
Some object types have different columns in the Object list (other than Name, Created and Modified), it is: Views and Foreign keys. For Foreign keys all available information is presented in additional columns and there is no link to text diff for detailed object definition.
