Refreshing DEV without losing work

[Maria20]

Hello Everyone.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question but I'm hoping someone can direct me down the right path...

I would like to refresh my DEV environment with a clone of Production as DEV got a bit messed up over the years.  However, I have in-progress update sets in DEV that I really don't want to lose.  Can anyone tell me how to refresh DEV without losing my work?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maria.

Hi @Maria20 ,

When you request for a clone, you have an option to select Preserve in Progress Global Update sets for the last 90 days. Please find the screenshot below:

You can also export XML and move to a different instance but the above option exists while cloning.

If my answer helped in any way, please mark it as ✅Correct & 👍Helpful.

Hi @Maria20 

Best i to take the update set up back up and then clone it. Else you will loss all changes/ work.
