Changes
Developing a new feature in Salesforce typically involves making updates to a range of metadata types and data. In addition, there can be tasks and scripts that are involved. Using "Changes", you can track these changes and instructions corresponding to every feature, big or small.
Changes provide a no-code approach to change tracking along with git processes like commit, merge, and build from source code. In addition, Changes offers the ability to retrieve updates from and deploy them to different environments.
The interface allows you to easily make selections of the metadata types that you want to include. This feature supports all types of metadata that are supported by Metadata API.
If your source environment has the Source Tracking enabled, you can use this feature to import changes directly.
Specify and migrate detailed access settings, such as- object-level permissions, field-level permissions, tab settings, visualforce pages, apex classes and more, for Profiles and Permission Sets.
Create a visual representation of your query by selecting specific objects and fields, navigating through parent-child relationships, and retrieving records from multiple objects in a single operation. You can configure to run either before or after metadata deployment.
Automate the execution of anonymous code as part of your deployment process, and specify whether they should run either before or after metadata deployment.
Track and manage destructive changes that you want to make to your environment, and specify whether they should be executed pre or post deployment.
Track and manage any manual steps that need to be performed as part of your deployment process, and specify whether they should be executed before or after the deployment of metadata.
