Enable Source Tracking in Sandboxes (Beta)

Turn on source tracking so Developer and Developer Pro sandboxes automatically track changes between a Salesforce org and the local development workspace.

As a beta feature, Source Tracking in Sandboxes is a preview and isn’t part of the “Services” under your master subscription agreement with Salesforce. Use this feature at your sole discretion, and make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features. Salesforce doesn’t guarantee general availability of this feature within any particular time frame or at all, and we can discontinue it at any time. This feature is for evaluation purposes only, not for production use. It’s offered as is and isn’t supported, and Salesforce has no liability for any harm or damage arising out of or in connection with it. All restrictions, Salesforce reservation of rights, obligations concerning the Services, and terms for related Non-Salesforce Applications and Content apply equally to your use of this feature. You can provide feedback and suggestions for the Source Tracking in Sandboxes feature by posting in Collaboration or Ideas in the Trailblazer Community.

This feature is available in Developer and Developer Pro Sandboxes only.

To enable Source Tracking in Sandboxes:

  1. Log in to your production org.
  2. From Setup, enter Dev Hub in the Quick Find box and select Dev Hub.

    If you don't see Dev Hub in the Setup menu, make sure that your org is one of the supported editions.

  3. Select Enable Source Tracking in Developer and Developer Pro Sandboxes.
After you enable this setting, Developer and Developer Pro Sandboxes that are created or refreshed have Source Tracking enabled. For information about how to use source tracking in sandboxes, see the Salesforce DX Developer Guide.
