Working with Salesforce Change Sets

Creating and Deploying a Change Set

1. Create an Outbound Change Set Edit section

  2. Select New​.
  3. Name the Change Set, for example: Online Application Analytics.
  4. Add a Description and Save your changes.
  5. In the Change Set Components section, select Add.
  6. Select a Component Type of Visualforce Page.

2. Upload your Change Set 

  1. From the Change Set you created above, select the Org you want to send the Change Set to.

​Note: Uploading the Change Set will send it to the Target Org; it will NOT make changes in your Production Org until you Deploy the Change Set.

3. Validate the Change Set in your Production Org 

  1. Login to your Production Org.
  2. Navigate to Setup and search for Inbound Change Sets.
  3. The Change Set you uploaded should be available under Change Sets Awaiting Deployment.

  5. Click Validate.

4. Deploy the Change Set in your Production Org 

  1. Login to your Production Org.
  2. Navigate to Setup and search for Inbound Change Sets.

Including Profiles in a Change Set from sandbox to production

You can add Profiles into change sets along with other components. Review the Salesforce Help & Training article: Deploy profiles via change sets for details on the different scenarios to allow this and what can be added.

Note: Remember that this will overwrite anything in production, not just append to it.
