Explainer

When several people customize the same Salesforce app in separate Developer sandboxes, their changes can overlap on the same or related metadata and the sandboxes drift out of sync. The org development model treats a source control repository as the shared record of the release so those overlaps can be found and merged before anyone keeps building. Each person still works in a private Developer sandbox, then syncs teammates' work into that sandbox and later integrates everything in a shared Developer Pro sandbox.

Core information
  • Each contributor gets a private Developer sandbox, an isolated metadata-only copy with no production data, so they can build their assigned customizations without sharing one org.
More details and nuances
  • Source control lets people edit the same files at the same time without overwriting or losing work, and you can revert a file to an earlier version.
