  Sounds like property checkpoints... store the value of a property from one page in a variable, navigate to the other page, do a property checkpoint to compare the property on the second page to the stored variable property... lather, rinse, repeat.

    Robert - Thank you for responding:
    
    But checkpoints for every single object on hundreds of unique product information pages? Ouch. That would take weeks to set up - and only be used once. New products every year.
    
    I was hoping for something along the lines of a screen compare feature. Scan the page in Staging, then compare it to the page in Production, and note any differences. Similar to how CrossBrowser compares the same pages for the same URL on multiple browsers.
    
    I'm thinking TC is not the tool for this.
