Configuration Impact Analyzer
Configuration Impact Analyzer helps site builders and developers understand the potential risks of importing Drupal configuration changes before they happen. It provides a preflight report that identifies potential issues like data loss, permission changes, and impacts on extensions and workflows, classifying them by severity.
Summary: Preview risks from pending Drupal configuration imports, including data loss, permission changes, dependencies, extension changes, and workflow impacts.
Configuration Impact Analyzer provides a read-only preflight report before configuration is imported. It helps site builders and developers understand what may change or break without modifying configuration.
