Config Manager
Limited Availability
This feature is available in a limited release. If you are interested in enabling this functionality for your organization, contact your BigPanda account team.
Using multiple BigPanda organizations, such as sandboxes and development instances, allows you to test changes before deploying them to production. This reduces the risk of unintended downstream effects on your configuration.
The Config Manager page allows you to compare your BigPanda organizations side-by-side so that you can see what changes were applied to one organization but not another. This can help you reduce configuration drift between organizations.
Multi-org only
The Config Manager feature is currently only available to multi-org customers. For more information, see the Multi-Org Accounts in BigPanda documentation.
If you are interested in enabling multi-org functionality for your organization, contact your BigPanda account team.
