Restore Salesforce Metadata to the same or another organization
Before initiating Metadata restore, you must consider the following points:
Metadata Restore handles all folders except the "My Personal Documents" folder.
Always select the related Metadata component files along with the specific Metadata component file that you want to restore. The related Metadata component files include
and files.For example, if you want to restore the ApexClass component file named Calculator.cls, you must select the related Metadata file named Calculator.cls-meta.xml for restore.
If you want to restore a LightningExperienceTheme, you must first restore the associated BrandingSet linked to the Lightning ExperienceTheme being restored.
To identify which branding set is related to the LightningExperienceTheme, start restoring the LightningExperienceTheme. After the restoration is complete, an error message appears, as follows:
Problem: In the field 'defaultBrandingSet,' no BrandingSet named 'LEXTHEMINGBrandingSetName' was found.
If you are restoring Profile Metadata and the targeted Salesforce organization does not have the
settings enable, the restore fails with the following error:You can't edit the tab settings for QuickText, as it's not a valid tab.
To prevent this issue, do the following:
