Companies spend a lot of time building change sets. Here are some of the limitations of change sets that you should know:

  • Change sets do not offer the capability to search components by name or type. As a developer, you are forced to browse through multiple pages to find the metadata items you want to select.

  • If you accidentally add a component, you cannot filter within your selections to remove the component quickly.

  • Certain components are not available to be deployed using change sets, and it’s possible to move changes only across connected environments.

  • With change sets, all selected components come in a single list, so you can’t scope which modification is based on which request.

  • Change sets do not enable continuous delivery, and automation of deployments is not an easy task.
