LCS - How to Merge Changes in a Sandbox up to the Next Level

This document outlines how to move all the changes made in the sandbox environment to the next level of environment.

Sandbox is a copy of your application.  Think of it as a ‘playground’ where you build and make changes to your application without interrupting your production environment. After making changes in the sandbox environment, you review your changes, and you are satisfied with the changes, you will want to move all the changes up to the next level of environment. The process of moving the changes to the next level of environment is called ‘Merging’. Every time you make a change to your application, you will want to merge your changes to the next level of environment to keep your application in sync with your sandbox environment. 

Below are the steps to merge changes in a sandbox up to the next level: 

  1. Click the View merge plan icon.
    Sandbox manager with a red box around the view merge plan icon on the development sandbox.
  2. Review your changes to merge as shown on the screenshot.
    Merge overview page with example list of changes.
  3. Click the Merge changes button on the top left-hand corner of the application.
    Blue merge changes button.
  4. Fill in a Title and Description and ensure that your title and description is relevant to the changes that you are merging.
    Merge changes pop-up box with sample title and description.
  5. Click the Merge changes button.

Note: You can rollback changes but only to the last merge by clicking the three dots icon on your application and selecting Rollback.
Rollback button with arrow icon.

Click the rollback button on the rollback overview page and click Rollback changes
