Distributing or deploying Flows and Processes

Once you are done with Flow or Process development, the next step is to deploy it. There are a couple of ways through which you can deploy or distribute it. They are as follows:

• Change Sets
• Packages

Change Sets allow you to deploy the Flows and Processes to a connected Salesforce organization such as your production environment.

Let's look at a business scenario. Alice Atwood is working as a system administrator at Universal Containers. She has developed a process in a Sandbox (Full Sandbox) and is done with the testing. She wants to migrate the newly created process to the production organization.
