Create and Manage Org Shapes

Create an org shape to mimic the baseline setup (features, limits, edition, and Metadata API settings) of a source org without the extraneous data and metadata. If the features, settings, or licenses of that org change, you can capture those updates by recreating the org shape. You can have only one active org shape at a time.

An org shape captures Metadata API settings, not all metadata types. For example, customizations that appear in the org, such as Lightning Experience Themes, aren’t included as part of org shape. See Settings in the Metadata API Guide for the complete list.

An org shape includes org preference and permissions. It doesn’t include data entries such as AddressSettings.

Scratch org shapes are associated with a specific Salesforce release. Be sure to recreate the org shape after the source org is upgraded to the new Salesforce release.

You can use the org shape after the status is Active:

If you run the sf org create shape command again for this org, the previous shape is marked inactive and replaced by a new active shape.

If you don’t want to create scratch orgs based on this shape, you can delete the org shape. To delete an org shape:
