Reporting changes using geoprocessing
The Change Reporter geoprocessing tool allows you to find changes made to individual feature classes or an entire geodatabase between specified dates/times. The changes reported are feature additions, modifications, and feature deletions. Once found, the changes are automatically committed to the Reviewer table for further review.
