creating solutions

We are planning to create a dedicated environment for production apps and flows. I want to know whether is there any difference in creating an app/flow directly inside the solution and creating an app/flow directly outside the solution and then include it in solution.

    hey @uiit3155 

     

    just some thoughts

     

    Inside Solution: Creating directly inside a solution helps in better dependency tracking. This means the solution is aware of all components and their dependencies right from the start, ensuring smoother deployment across environments.

     

    Outside Solution, Then Add: Dependencies might not be fully captured if the app or flow is added to the solution after being developed outside. This can potentially lead to issues during solution deployment, such as missing dependencies that weren’t included when the app or flow was initially developed.

     

     

    Creating and managing apps and flows directly inside a solution is generally considered best practice, especially for production environments. This approach ensures:

    • Better governance and control over the apps and flows.
    • Easier management of dependencies and updates.
    • Streamlined deployment processes across different environments.

    my advice would be to always put everything together in a solution instead of developing and then throw together

     

    Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

    If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.
