# Develop and Deploy with DX Inspector

DX Inspector is a management tool that provides quick access to metadata and data change tracking and visualization. It’s available at the top of a page or builder in your Salesforce sandbox, scratch org, or Developer Edition org.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col style="width:100%"></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

DX Inspector shows the name of the org (if available) that you’re working in. It also provides an entry point to a panel with more change tracking capabilities. Before you start using these capabilities, review and accept the opt-in terms.

You can also create and view the status of work items, or switch between them to focus on high-priority work items.

- **[Change Management](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.change_management.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    The Change Management tab offers a unified view of all the modifications across your current org. From this tab, you can view, manage, and commit metadata and data changes to your source control repository. You can also move metadata and data together for direct deployment to a target org.
- **[Activity History](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.dx_inspector_activity_history.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    View a chronological timeline of key events in your org, such as commits, deployments, and reviews. Use the Activity History tab in DX Inspector to audit activity and troubleshoot errors.
- **[Metadata and Data Deployment from DX Inspector](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.metadata_and_data_deployment.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Quickly move metadata and configuration data from your current Salesforce org to a target org in a single orchestration. This type of direct deployment from DX Inspector is ideal for moving small, specific changes without using a full DevOps pipeline.
