Change or Open Your Default Org

Salesforce Extensions for VS Code and Code Builder runs commands against your default org. In the package development model, your default org is typically a scratch org. In the org development model, it’s usually a sandbox, a Developer Edition (DE) org, or a Trailhead Playground.

To set or change the org that you’re developing against, in the VS Code footer, click the org’s name or the plug icon ( ). Then, select a different org, or choose SFDX: Set a Default Org to authorize a new org. Or, open the Command Palette and run SFDX: Authorize an Org or SFDX: Create a Default Scratch Org.

To open your default org so that you can test your changes or use declarative tools, click the browser icon ( ) in the footer. Or, open the Command Palette and run SFDX: Open Default Org.

To log out of the default org, run SDFX: Log Out from Default Org.
