I'm a pretty new to FME so apologies if my question is a bit basic. There are 2 polygonal shapefiles, one that gets modified daily on a server and another we have in a sde. I'd like the first one to replace the one I have but only where changes have been made to existing polygons, while simultanously puting any new polygons created in a separate shapefile to add in manually for quality control. I'm not quite sure which transformer(s) to use. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Have you tried the ChangeDetector?:

I haven't no, this is helpful thanks! Do I need a common field between the two shapefiles?

Yes, you do

The schema should have the same names if you want to compare attributes. You can change the attribute names of one of the shapes to match the other ones' names with an AttributeManager.
