Show status in Chrome tab title
In Chrome, it is possible to display info even when viewing a different tab.
For example, I see this done with financial sites when they want to show the value of a stock ticker symbol.

Page Layout Deletion Not Detected
When I remove a page layout from my Git repository (the file and the package.xml entry) and then do a comparison to an org that it still exists in, Gearset fails to detect a deletion. It doesn't even show up in the All objects tab. It happened to me yesterday and then I just reproduced it now.

Check for conflicts on CI
We have a scenario where CI would be useful, but there is a risk of it making destructive changes...
Orgs in involved are Prod, UAT, Dev.
Ideal development path would be Dev->UAT->Prod with each deployment using Gearset.
In the real world, admins make some changes directly in Prod. So, we also need to merge changes back from Prod->UAT to make sure that UAT is a realistic test environment.
It would be great if we could make a CI connection from Prod->UAT which automatically deploys non-destructive changes, and notifies us if a change cannot be sent to UAT for risk of…

Suggestion - make comparison highlight colors configurable
The background highlight colors for differences are much too light to be able to be seen clearly when viewing in APEX mode. Colors are much brighter in XML mode. Request - allowing these colors to be configurable. Thanks for the consideration.

The number of differences does not appear to the left of the Prev/Next buttons in XML view mode
However, the number of differences does appear when viewing the same Apex class in APEX view mode.

For CI Jobs initiated by Github, dynamically send CI failure / success email to the user who committed to the repo.
Currently, we can only specify a list of users to email, a Slack channel to update, or a Chatter group to post to when a CI job is successful or fails. If there are multiple notifications to a number of people, it's likely they will filter out these messages, so being able to notify the person who the CI Job is most relevant to would be a good improvement.

Auto-generate deployment note and git commit message
When Gearset makes a commit, it defaults to a blank deployment note and blank git commit message. Although I can edit this , it would be awesome if you can merge in details from the deploy to the commit (like components changed, what salesforce user made the change etc)

Save previously entered comparison filters
I am currently using a standard regex filter each time I do a comparison. It has become quite lengthy such that I can't easily remember it. I have ended up saving it in a separate text file and have to open it, then copy and paste it into Gearset each time I do a comparison. Pretty cumbersome.
It would be nice if the Filter... text box on the comparison results screen was a combo box that when clicked, dropped down a list of recently used filters. Each entry in the list should be removable (like with a little 'x' icon…

Allow deployment of PROFILE only
The main reason we considered Gearset was issues with deploying profiles. Half the object settings, if not more, don't come over with change sets. When attempting to use Gearset to ONLY deploy a profile, we had the same issue. So, what's the point of using GS then? When I talked with one of your technical resources he did mention that was not a common use case. I would think it would be for large organizations like ours (over 3500 employees). We may want to spin up a new profile and just deploy that with no app or any other features…

False positives in managed code
When I enable comparing managed packages (e.g. when I have added a field to a managed custom object), I get lots of false positives saying that there are differences in apex code.
On the source org, the code is show as "(hidden)"; on the target it is shown as empty. And Gearset lists this as a change.
Obviously, I know it's not a change, but it adds a lot of clutter to the comparison view.

Compare org monitoring from an arbitrary date to the current state of the org
In Monitor ORG's tab, we have a daily set of cached metadata that can be used to troubleshoot issues in an ORG. This is great that we have this data. What would be even better (if there is not a way to do it currently), is if we could take the metadata cache from the monitoring job, "x" days ago, and compare it to the current state of an ORG.
Maybe an ideal way to achieve this would be to select a cached version in the Compare Organizations screen. Alternatively, a button can be added in the Monitoring Job history…

Clarify installation of managed packages and allow opt-out
It appears that if there are dependencies in the deployment that require a Managed Package to be installed/updated, that package is automatically installed/updated before the deployment takes place.
This is great, but it needs more clarity and control for the user.
It would be nice to know if Managed Packages are going to be installed as the result of a deployment, and if so, opt-in or opt-out of that process. It would be great if opting-out also displayed the related metadata with the dependency so those could be excluded as well.
This may also avert some errors where metadata needs…

Display org authorisation errors
When I link my Salesforce org with Gearset, I like to use OAuth as that provides the best security.
Whenever there is an error during the linking process, such as when:
- The app is blocked (OAUTHAPPBLOCKED)
- I press Deny on the OAuth consent screen
- The org has IP restrictions in place that prevents Gearset from completing the OAuth flow
Gearset returns to the Manage Orgs or Configure page without showing me what went wrong!

Filtering by user across the app
Filter deployment history & automated jobs to only show a specific team member's activity (e.g. mine). With large teams, the history pages can get too busy and makes it difficult to find the results I'm interested in.

A count of differences could be grouped by type
If the count of differences could be grouped by type/color that would be helpful.
Ex: 20 differences: 5 red, 7 green, 8 yellow. It gives a better sense of how drastic the differences between Source and Target are at first glance.3 votes -
When the difference between Source and Target, on a particular line, is only in the formatting. Highlight in a different color
From what I can determine you are categorizing the differences as follows:
Code in Source, not in Target – Highlighted in Green
Code in Target not in Source – Highlighted in Red
Difference between code in Source and Target – Highlighted in YellowWhen the difference between Source and Target, on a particular line, is only in the formatting. It would be nice if that was highlighted in a different color than yellow (perhaps grey). It would speed up the review of the code knowing a certain color was only a formatting difference.

Manage Orgs Re-authorization returns you to a default sorted list.
I refreshed a sandbox. I need to re-auth my orgs. I go to Manage Orgs, and sort by my friendly name. I click re-auth, and OAuth is successful and the app tells me I did a good job. But the page it returns me to is using a different sort then I left the page with. ie, it sorts the list by username again. Just extra button clicking I'd like to get rid of if possible. I have to re-auth orgs all the time.

Include both dates on comparison export
The sheet exported from a comparison currently includes only one date column. It is unclear which org this refers to. It would be great if it included two columns (one per org) so that one didn't have to individually look up the item to determine which version is newer.

Cancel deployment in progress
In Salesforce, you can cancel a deployment in progress: Maybe because a test has failed already and you don't want to bother running the rest, or because you forgot some things.
Can we have a cancel button while a deployment is in progress in Gearset? The metadata api seems to support it:
