- Deploying revisions with Deployment Manager
As a best practice, you should use Deployment Manager 5.1 or newer to automate your business change management process, run CI/CD pipelines to merge a revision package to the development system of record (SOR), and subsequently deploy that package through to your production environment by using a deployment pipeline.
- Optional: Managing revisions manually
As a best practice, you should always use Deployment Manager 5.1 to automate your business change management process. However, if necessary, you can also manually import, activate, discard, or roll back revisions in the production environment.
