What tab allows you to deploy Apex components through a multi-step deployment step?

The Advanced tab is the correct choice for deploying Apex components through a multi-step deployment process. This tab provides more intricate control over deployment scenarios, allowing users to set up complex deployment chains, which can involve multiple steps and dependencies. The flexibility of multi-step processes is particularly useful for managing Apex components since they often require careful handling due to their interdependencies and the potential impact on the overall application stability.

By using the Advanced tab, users can define intricate workflows that are essential when dealing with different environments or when the deployment includes various interconnected components. This ensures that the deployment is executed correctly and minimizes the risk of issues post-deployment.

The other tabs, while useful, do not offer this level of detailed control for multi-step deployments. The Promotion tab, for example, focuses on moving changes through different environments but may not provide the detailed step configuration required for deploying complex Apex components. The Metadata tab is primarily concerned with managing and viewing individual metadata components, rather than orchestrating multi-step deployment processes. The Environment tab is more focused on monitoring and managing the environments themselves rather than the deployment mechanism.
