Outbound Change Sets
An outbound change set is a change set created in the Salesforce org in which you are logged in and that you want to send to another org. You typically use an outbound change set for customizations created and tested in a sandbox and that are then sent to a production org.

Deploying Changes Using Change Sets (Salesforce Classic)
A change set can have up to 10,000 files with a total file size of 400 MB. Change set components are represented as metadata XML files. Make sure that your change set doesn’t exceed approximately 5,000 components.
Sending an outbound change set to another org doesn’t guarantee that the changes are implemented in that org. The change set must be deployed by the target org before the changes can take effect. To help ensure a smooth deployment, review information about permission sets and profile settings in change sets.
After you upload a change set, its status becomes closed, and you can’t make changes to its components. Also, the components in a closed change set don’t get refreshed. To redeploy the same set of components, clone the change set. The cloned change set includes the latest changes to its components source. You can add and remove components in the cloned change set. Cloning change sets is helpful during the iterative phases of a project.
- Select Components for an Outbound Change Set
You typically use an outbound change set for customizations created and tested in a sandbox and that are then sent to a production org. - View and Add Dependent Components to a Change Set
A dependency is a relationship where one or more components must exist for another component to exist. Add dependent components to a change set, unless the dependent components exist in every org where this change set is deployed. - Upload an Outbound Change Set
When you've assembled the components in a change set, you can upload it to another Salesforce org. After you upload a change set, you can't edit it or recall it. - Create an Outbound Change Set
An outbound change set is a change you send from the Salesforce org you are logged into to another org. - Clone an Outbound Change Set
You can create a copy of an existing change set by cloning it. - Delete an Outbound Change Set
You can locate outbound via the Quick Find box. - Outbound Change Set Validation Errors
If you receive an error about cross-version validation, the org used to create the outbound change set is running on a different version than the destination org. - Upload Change Sets During Staggered Salesforce Service Upgrades
During Salesforce service upgrades, production and sandbox environments don't always run the same version of the platform because the upgrades are staggered. Some components may have new functionality that prevents you from deploying that type of component. You can deploy such components after the production org runs the same version as sandbox.
