Version Control Settings

Disconnecting your Version Control Repository

To disconnect the VCS repository:

  1. On the Settings page in the Release tab, see Version Control.
  2. Click the trash icon to remove the connection.
  3. Confirm the action by clicking Proceed.

Note: This action cannot be undone. The metadata and/or data in your branches and Salesforce environments will remain, and the environments will remain on the Environments page, but the link between environments and branches will not be maintained. You can manually delete any branches created using Prodly from inside your version control system.

Connecting your Version Control Repository

Each Salesforce user connects separately to the repository for security and audit purposes. Release creates a connection for the Salesforce user who performs the ****initial VCS setup. If that connection expires or another Salesforce user accesses version control, other users will be disconnected.

To connect your Salesforce user to the repository:

  1. On the Settings page in the Release tab, see Version Control.
  2. Click the refresh icon.
  3. Select your Authentication Method.
  4. Click Connect.
  5. If your Authentication Method is OAuth, follow the VCS prompts to establish a connection between Release and your VCS for your Salesforce user.

Enabling Record Deletions

By default, Prodly will not delete records in a destination environment. You can enable this feature in the Release tab by navigating to Settings → Deployments and activating the Allow Data Deletions toggle. Once enabled, Deploy from Branch operations will delete records from the destination environment that no longer exist in the source branch. Refer to best practices for details.

Currently, for Org-to-Org and VC-to-Org deployments, deletion will only work for the root object.
