Packaging an application
To migrate a new application to a different environment, you must package the application before you can import it to the new environment.
Merging application changes
If you develop your application features in separate branches, use the Merge Branches wizard to merge the branches before you package the application. The wizard shows any merge conflicts so that you can correct them before you merge the branches.
Additionally, the Pega 1:1 Operations Manager application allows business users to make controlled changes in a Business Operations Environment (BOE), and test the changes in a production environment within boundaries defined by your organization's IT department. For more information, see Revision management.
