Migration from Nucleo-64 board to Nucleo-144

Hi, I've got a question related to making shields for Nucleo boards. The problem is portability of shields between boards. There are two questions, to which I can't find a simple answer:

1. Do ST Morpho connectors on various Nucleo-64 boards (with uCs in LQFP-64 package) share same pinout? Especially power and communications?

2. Is Morpho connector on new Nucleo-144 boards compatible with old Nucleo-64 boards? Of course, it's longer, but can I plug a shield on topmost part of the pin rows  and expect it to work?

I tried looking at datasheets, but I'd have to compare multiple documents (schematics of Nucleo boards and datasheets of their uCs), so I think that if someone already researched this problem, it will be easier to just hear two boolean answers.

Well, the whole point of the Nucleo 'ecosystem' is precisely that common shields fit the whole range:

Sharing the same connectors, STM32 Nucleo boards can easily be extended with a large number of specialized application hardware add-ons (Nucleo-64 include Arduino Uno rev3 & ST morpho connectors, Nucleo-32 include Arduino Nano connectors).

Click 'Resources' on that page --> Technical Literature --> User Manual

UM1956 User manual STM32 Nucleo-32 board

UM1724 User manual STM32 Nucleo-64 boards

UM2206 User manual STM32 Nucleo-64-P boards

UM2179 User manual STM32 Nucleo-144 boards

UM1974 User manual STM32 Nucleo-144 boards

So there is one User Manual for each series (except 144?!)

They give schematics & pinouts.
