When making modifications to a database it can be useful to identify what was recently modified. There are multiple ways to do so depending on the database structure format.

In design mode, the Find in design feature allows a filter to specify the modification date. A generic list can be compiled by specifying a search for "Any object" under a specific modification date. This is available to both binary and project mode databases.



For Project mode databases specifically, there are various ways to find items which have been recently modified. As the structure is formatted as separate flat files, the files can be searched using any tools available to search and sort for files based on the last modification date. The Mac Finder or Windows Explorer is something available to all that can be used or something more complex like a repository tool.
