Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 267

You've developed some new functionality in production, but there are concurrent development projects in a developer sandbox.
What's the best way to make sure the changes in production and projects in development are both merged?

Answer options

• A. Simply refresh the developer sandbox.
• B. Copy all of the sandbox metadata to a file system, then refresh the developer sandbox, and finally deploy all the metadata to the developer sandbox.
• C. Create a new sandbox, and then deploy from your developer sandbox to the new sandbox.
• D. None of the above.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a new sandbox allows you to safely merge changes from the developer sandbox without affecting ongoing development. The other options either risk losing work in the developer sandbox or do not provide a reliable way to integrate both sets of changes.
