Quickbase does not have a built-in tool to automatically show the differences between an original app and its copy. The best practical way is to use API_GetSchema (or export the app as a Solution) on both apps to pull their structure, then compare the exported files using a text/JSON diff tool like VS Code or Beyond Compare. This gives you a list of what’s been added, changed, or deleted. You can also do manual checks table-by-table, but the API method is much faster for medium to large apps.
