What it does
What was added, removed or changed between two JSON objects (top level keys). Show a member what an edit did. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 5 values later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: what was added, removed or changed between two JSON objects (top level keys). Show a member what an edit did.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
