What action should be taken after selecting the Layout in the Commit Changes?

The appropriate action after selecting the layout in the Commit Changes process is to click on Commit Destructive Changes. This step is essential when you need to commit changes that include deletions or removals of metadata components.

When a user is committing changes in a version control system like Copado, it's not just about adding or updating components; it also involves ensuring that any components that have been deleted in the development environment are properly reflected in the target environment. Thus, this option allows for the capture and implementation of all changes in a comprehensive manner.

Selecting Layout, in this context, typically helps organize or filter the components you're working with, but to finalize your changes—especially if there are any destructive changes (like deletions)—you must explicitly commit those destructive actions to ensure the target environment accurately reflects the intended state.

Thus, the action of committing destructive changes is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the deployment and ensuring that all intended modifications are accounted for in the destination org.
