A bunch of supergirl lore got retconned out of existence. Morgan edge is a completely different character on S&L this season, played by a different actor. They changed a bunch of (minor) things about her early years on earth and recast a few characters (Kenny, her dad). Lex is now a Nobel Peace Prize recipient and i guess a lot of Lena's character motivation in the early seasons changed because she didn't need to rehab the Luthor name. Anything related to Lex being evil in public is also gone. every Superman appearance is probably not canon anymore or happened differently. something about Andrea and Leviathan changed but i forgot everything about this plot both pre- and post-Crisis. I'm not sure Lynda Carter was ever president post-Crisis.

I'm probably forgetting a lot. I forget a lot of the arrowverse or just tune out, especially during supergirl and the flash. To be fair, none of these changes ever really have a real impact and none of the shows seemed super interested in exploring any of the changes and most major characters know about their pre-Crisis lives. It's been handled pretty poorly. I cringe every time characters in the flash say stuff like "this happened in Crisis." I just hate that it's called that in-universe.
