How to check if the occurrence properties are different from the instance properties

Question

Hai Community, 
 I have a schematic design where I can see the instance properties and occurrence properties in the edit object properties or edit properties, we know that any change in the instance properties will reflect in the occurrence properties. 
 Sometimes I see that the instance properties are not equal to occurrence properties, in that case is there any way to know that whether the occurrence properties are not the same as the instance properties, and how to find for which the properties have been changed. It will be very helpful to identify which schematic part properties have been changes so before pushing the occurrence properties to instance properties I can identify them and then push them to instance properties. 
 Regards,

When a design is annotated in instance mode, the part reference is assigned
in the white/black column, representing instance mode of the property editor. A flat
or simple hierarchical design is expected to have the same values in the white/black and
yellow columns, this is the preferred mode of annotation for a flat or simple hierarchical
design.

For Flat and Simple Hierarchical Design--No part contains duplicate occurrence in a flat or simple hierarchical design. The
property editor contains one white/black and one yellow column for every part and both
contain the same value for all properties. By default, the yellow column is hidden for an
instance mode design. You can click the plus sign to expand the yellow column.

When a design is annotated in occurrence mode, the part reference is assigned/modified in the yellow column representing the occurrence mode of the property editor. At times, the occurrence value for a property may be picked from the instance column. Such columns appear striped. 
 For Complex Hierarchical Design--The property editor includes a yellow column for each occurrence of a part. If a design contains three duplicate hierarchical blocks, for all the parts within that hierarchical block, the property editor will contain one white/black and three yellow columns. The Part Reference of parts in yellow columns (at the occurrence level) must be unique after the correct annotation of the design.

 Let me know in case of any further questions on this.
