=== What can you migrate ===
You can select which parts of your environment should be migrated:
* Metadata (data model)
* Data (entity records)
* App projects
* Localizations
* Processes
* Plugin assemblies
=== Use cases ===
Here are some tips on how connected environments can help you:
* Release management: You can maintain separate environments for development, testing, and production. Once stable and working, you can easily transfer your changes to production.
* Multiple customers: If you're in charge of multiple customers using a similar custom solution, you can develop features in a central organization and push them to child organizations.
* [[Beta]] testing with your environment: Clone your production to the beta server to check new features and verify that your custom development is not impacted.
* Bug reporting: Clone your organization without sensitive data so that our support engineers can help you with troubleshooting.
