Summary

In this chapter, we took a close look at the various options for deploying an extension targeted at Dynamics 365 Business Central sandbox or production. We have also covered all four stages of extension deployment in detail: publish, synchronize, data upgrade, and installation.

This chapter closes the development section, and now you're ready to start working with extensions on real-world projects (you know how to create extensions, how to deploy them, and how to extend them).

In the next chapter, we'll begin a brand new section that looks at debugging and testing extensions. The final chapter relates to source code management and its life cycle.
