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. Existing sandboxes don’t have source tracking enabled until you refresh them.
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

You can’t enable source tracking in Developer Edition orgs.

Note

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.
  4. Refresh any existing Developer or Developer Pro sandboxes to enable this feature.

    Source tracking is automatically enabled for any newly created Developer or Developer Pro sandboxes.
