Processor Expert allows to track changes in generated modules. It is just necessary to enable the option Create code generation log in the Processor Expert Project options. Refer to the Processor Expert options topic for details. If this option is enabled, a file ProcessorExpert_CodeGeneration.txt is generated into Documentation folder.
The file contains a list of changes with details on purpose of each change. Refer to the example below:

To view changes within the individual files, you can use a file pop-up menu command Compare with > Local history... available in Components view. It allows to compare files with the version before the code generation.
