Temporarily Deactivate Events

When submitting a deployment from the Deploy or the Sandbox Seeding page within the Release tab, you may notice the toggle to Temporarily Deactivate Events. When toggled on, Release will deactivate Flows, WorkflowRules, Apex Triggers, Validation Rules and Duplication Rules related to the deployed objects in the destination for the duration of the deployment. Once completed, Release will reactivate these events.
