Deploying using change sets

Using change sets is a classic way of deploying metadata from a Sandbox to a production org. It means if both the orgs are connected, you can use change sets to deploy the metadata. Change sets are containers that are used to send metadata from a Sandbox to a production org or to other Sandboxes. They can only hold metadata, meaning they will allow you to move or deploy only those changes or customizations that you would have made through the Setup menu. They don't allow you to migrate records from one organization to another. To use change sets, make sure that both the organizations have a deployment connection set up. There are two types of change sets available, and they are as follows:

• Outbound change sets
• Inbound change sets
