Use object checker to diagnose a solution component (preview)

[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change.]

Object checker runs real-time diagnostics on component objects within your solution. If issues are detected, a recommendation is returned that describes how to fix the issue. This might include documentation, instructions, or a click-able action that can fix the issue for you.

Example issues object checker detects

  • Active layer hiding customizations.
  • Malformed or corrupted metadata.

  1. Go to the Solutions area.

  2. On the command bar, turn Solutions preview on.
