Highlight changes in draft process

It is difficult to see exactly where the changes are in a draft when using Safe edit for component processes. It would help both the developer and colleagues doing review if the process editor could highlight changed steps and properties.

The highlighted parts would be those that differ between the current draft and the promoted version of the process.

    For this idea, we reviewed the email with more details around this request which includes:

    1. Exporting Draft Processes (URBANCODE-I-657)
      We need the ability to export draft processes for review. While a UI export (JSON / YAML) would be a good start, our preference is to access draft processes via the "Process-as-Code" (PAC) format, as this is significantly better suited for our code review workflow.

    2. Logging at Approvals
      Once we implement these reviews in DevOps Deploy, we need to enable the required approval before promotions in DevOps Deploy. However, we noticed that currently the change log only records the name of the approver in this mode. For audit purposes, it is a strict requirement that we also capture the name of the person who made the change (the requester of the approval). Having both persons in separate columns would be perfect.

    For this idea, we are only considering the "1. Exporting Draft Processes". For the "2. Logging at Approvals", did you guys submit a separate Idea for this already? If so, please share this information with us if you can. We are trying to find it. Thank you!

    I am moving this to 'under review' and our development team will be exploring this in our next discussion topic review. Thanks for the notes above in your reply as this helps us having more details.
