Enable Source Tracking in Sandboxes

Turn on source tracking in the source (production) org so Developer and Developer Pro sandboxes automatically track changes between sandboxes created from it and Salesforce DX projects.
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions

User Permissions Needed
To view a sandbox: View Setup and Configuration
To create, refresh, activate, and delete a sandbox: Manage Sandbox
To enable Source Tracking: Customize Application

To enable Source Tracking in Sandboxes for Developer and Developer Pro sandboxes:

  1. Log in to the source (production) org.
  2. From Setup, in the Quick Find Box, enter Dev Hub and select Dev Hub.

    If you don't see Dev Hub in the Setup menu, make sure that the source 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. Existing sandboxes don’t have source tracking enabled until you refresh them.
