What must be checked to include environment variables when taking a snapshot in Copado?

To include environment variables when taking a snapshot in Copado, it is essential to check the option that allows for the application of environment variables. Selecting "Apply Environment Variables" ensures that all relevant environment-specific configurations are captured in the snapshot. This is vital for maintaining the integrity of the deployment process, as environment variables typically contain essential settings that dictate how applications operate in different contexts or environments.

By confirming that environment variables are applied, users can ensure that their snapshot accurately reflects the settings necessary for proper functionality after deployment, thereby reducing the risk of misconfiguration or errors as code moves through various stages. This aligns with best practices in managing environment-specific settings during CI/CD processes, facilitating smoother deployments.

The other options do not specifically address the inclusion of environment variables in the snapshot process, making them less relevant in this context.
