Using change sets for app deployment
Earlier in this chapter, we looked at ALM and discovered that the sixth and final step involves the release of changes to the production org.
We also learned about various development models, and in particular the change set development model, which is enacted using the setup UI. Here, the change set feature enables the grouping of change items into change sets within a development environment, which can then be migrated between environments during ALM steps.
A change set comprises a set of changes that are either new or modified metadata items of the production environment. Multiple change sets can be created, and they contain metadata that reflects the configuration, declarative customization, and programmatic code for the build.
The process of using change sets to migrate changes between environments on the Lightning Platform is as follows:
