Since R2022b

In R2023b the Architectural Data section of data dictionaries was introduced. When managing interfaces, data types, constants, and software address methods consider using the Simulink.dictionary.ArchitecturalData programmatic interfaces instead. For more information, see Programmatically Manage AUTOSAR Architectural Data.

Description

showChanges(dictObj) opens the Comparison Tool window and displays changes to the dictionary since it was last saved. The Comparison Tool shows the differences in the Simulink design data properties. Changes made to platform properties are not shown.
