Generating instructions for user interface changes based on version updates

A computer system for generating instructions for user interface changes based on version updates, the computer system comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media configured to store computer program code;
• and
• one or more computer processors configured to access said computer program code and operate as instructed by said computer program code, said computer program code including:
• first receiving code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to receive first data corresponding to a first input by a user on a first version of a user interface, wherein the first input corresponds to the user hovering a cursor over a region of the first version of the user interface for a predetermined amount of time;
• based on coordinates of the cursor, identifying code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to identify an interface element on a second version of the user interface, wherein the second version of the user interface corresponds to an older version of the user interface than the first version, and wherein the coordinates of the cursor correspond to coordinates of the interface element within the second version;
• first displaying code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to display, in place of the first version, the second version of the user interface with the interface element to the user;
• second receiving code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to receive second data corresponding to a second input by the user on the displayed second version of the user interface, wherein the second input corresponds to a mouse click by the user on the interface element within the second version of the user interface;
• and
• in response to the mouse click, second displaying code configured to cause the one or more computer processors to display, in place of the second version, the first version of the user interface and a toast or tooltip which shows the user a new location of the interface element within the first version of the user interface.

A computer program product for generating instructions for user interface changes based on version updates, comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage devices;
• and
• program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more computer-readable storage devices, the program instructions configured to cause one or more computer processors to:
• receive first data corresponding to a first input by a user on a first version of a user interface, wherein the first input corresponds to the user hovering a cursor over a region of the first version of the user interface for a predetermined amount of time;
• based on coordinates of the cursor, identify an interface element on a second version of the user interface, wherein the second version of the user interface corresponds to an older version of the user interface than the first version, and wherein the coordinates of the cursor correspond to coordinates of the interface element within the second version;
• display, in place of the first version, the second version of the user interface with the interface element to the user;
• receive second data corresponding to a second input by the user on the displayed second version of the user interface, wherein the second input corresponds to a mouse click by the user on the interface element within the second version of the user interface;
• and
• in response to the mouse click, display, in place of the second version, the first version of the user interface and a toast or tooltip which shows the user a new location of the interface element within the first version of the user interface.
