New Instance Implementation

[Community Alums]

I have a general implementation question:

Scenario:

3 New Instances:

Production

UAT

DEV

Production is not live.

When working through the initial configurations, should they be done in the lower environments and then pushed up to production for go-live, or can they be done in Production and tested there before go-live?

This is a decision for your organization to take. Once production has reached the "golden state" to go live You will clone it to DEV/TEST before you continue to develop anyting ensuring all instances are identical (with some exceptions). Until then the question is if You prioritize implementatin speed doing configuration changes in production or if you prioritize getting your team trained in the future way of working developing in Dev, teting i test and never doing anything directly in Prod.
