Allow Downloading of git diff for Comparison
It can be difficult to evaluate the scope of changes by clicking in the Comparison view on one metadata element at a time to see the differences. We would much prefer to be able to download a git diff and examine the delta as a cohesive changeset.
The user should be able to download the contents of the currently selected tab (All Changes, New Changes, or Selected Changes) in the format of a git unified diff. The user can then use the software of their choice to view the diff.
This will also enable more advanced workflows, as git diffs…

Ability to manually hide/filter component differences by single flag
When reviewing comparisons it would be extremely helpful to have the ability to manually 'hide' a component difference (e.g. a single flag to filter out, ignore, or even 'grey' a component differences) once you have a) reviewed the XML and b) determined you do not want to deploy or view that component in a saved draft. I.e. a third state that is not simply 'selected' or 'deselected'.
Current filters by component type, name, et al. don't accommodate for wanting to hide a known component difference (e.g. like an Apex class still under development) so that you can only see remaining…

Provide link from standard field to Standard Value Set
Some of the standard picklist fields in Salesforce have their values defined in Standard Value Sets. This means when you add a new value in the Salesforce UI, for example in the Type field of the Case object, that you are actually editing the CaseType Standard Value Set and not the Case Custom Object.
Gearset detects all these differences, but it isn't obvious why Case.Type appears as unchanged in a Gearset comparison. It would be better if Gearset showed some help text in the Case.Type object definition that pointed me to some help docs or linked me to the exact…

Show Workflow Activities As Dependency of Parent Workflow
When selecting a Workflow Rule, its dependent components (i.e., email alerts) are not shown in the dependency view. They should be.

Warn if a selected metadata type is not supported by selected API version
In the custom filters dialog, if you select a metadata type that is not supported by the API version, the compare and deploy currently just silently ignores that item, giving the impression that the compare has failed. e.g. selecting "Duplicate rule" with metadata version prior to 38.0.
It would be good for Gearset to provide a warning if a selected metadata type is not supported by the selected API version.

Dependency Engine enhancement for Sharing Rules
Dependencies with sharing rules. Roles/Groups/Fields referenced in sharing rules may be helpful to add as "dependent" on as if they are not in the destination org you cannot deploy.

Scroll to top of category, when switch between All Items, Changed Items etc
Just a user preference item – when you switch tabs (ex: New Objects to Deleted Objects), it doesn’t place you at the top of the window.
So if I scroll down through all the New Objects and then switch tabs to the Deleted Objects, it just places me in the same relative location as I was in the New Objects tab.
It would be nice to have it reset to the top of each window when I switch tabs.

Exclude inactive flows from metadata deployment easily
We often have flows that are in an org but inactive that we don't want to include in our deployment. It would be nice if we could filter on the inactive status and exclude them - similar would be helpful for other metadata like apex triggers.

Compare UI feedback after large salesforce project
- Preserve location when switching between new/changed/deleted views. When reviewing a compare with hundreds of components, it's annoying to have to re-scroll when returning to a view. We could filter the lists, but that often means less scrolling, not no scrolling.
- Make the XML view sticky. I'm old school, but after I click on XML view 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, my default should be switched to XML.

See message history with Ryan earlier today - Quick piece of feedback, it would be great to open up records in the source and target orgs, by right clicking on the record in Compare and Deploy screen

Do you mean, be able to open the records directly in Salesforce via a link from the compare and deploy screen?

Add Link to Comparison in Gearset to VCS PRs
Include a direct link to the corresponding Gearset comparison in the description or as a comment to the PR in Github (or other VCS). This would greatly streamline the review process, particularly for Flows, because Gearset's flow diff viewer is the best way to review those XML changes. Without this link, reviewers must manually jump to Gearset and select the proper source and target to perform the necessary comparison.

Allow Metadata Filters to be Version Controlled
Represent a metadata filter as a file (e.g., JSON/YAML/XML) that can live in the repository, similar to a package.xml. When configuring a compare/deploy, Gearset would automatically use this file if it exists in the selected repo. This would allow the filter configuration to be version controlled, which would be especially useful for CI jobs, as filters play a critical role there.

add record id as column to search results, or search with record ID from source org
Please check recent conversation thread with Sam. With my account nazrul.amin@lloydslistintelligence.com.nazrul
Another tip, would be great to search with Record Id's, as sometimes in orgs we have very similarly named products. Would make like easier finding the specific record you were working on

Or is it possible to expose the record ID as another column in the comparison results please?1 vote -
Introduce precision deployment for Experience Sites.
We have multiple changes in train at any time across our three Orgs within our pipeline. We do not manage these changes via our pipeline due to some of the UI changes being made by Community Admins outside our Devops framework. At times we may have 3 separate features impacting a single page and we need to promote these changes separately. At the moment the Org to Org deployment takes the components in their entirety.

focus
When viewing a Comparisons results and click the filter icon in the column header to filter that column, it would be nice for the focus to be automatically placed on the filter text so it can be typed directly (without having to click on the filter text field).

Pipeline Notification for Metadata filter for Missing components
If I am committing some code via pipeline, in my feature branch that includes a metadata not present in my current CI Job filter, Can I get notified from Gearset that commited/merged metadata not present in the CI Job Filter?

Have the ability to see the metadata comparison between a merge-branch and the destination environment in Pipelines
Greetings,
I would like to request the ability to see the metadata comparison between a merge-branch and the destination environment.
For example, my pipeline is setup:
Developer's sandbox --> QA sandbox --> UAT sandbox --> Production
with the repository branches (merge-branch) for each sandbox respectively:
merge-QA
merge-UAT
mainAfter a feature-branch passes its validation and is merged into the merge-QA, I would like to be able to see the metadata comparison of what is about to get deployed to the 'QA sandbox'. We have the ability to see the contents of the commit via the link to our repository hosting…
