Step 3. Select Organization

At the Organization step of the wizard, select a Salesforce organization whose metadata you want to restore from the Restore from drop-down list. For a Salesforce organization to be displayed in the list, it must belong to the company specified at step 1.

By default, metadata is restored to the same Salesforce organization. However, you can choose to restore metadata to another organization. To do that, select a Salesforce organization to which you want to restore metadata from the Restore to drop-down list. For a Salesforce organization to be displayed in the list of available organizations, it must belong to the company specified at step 1 and be compatible with the organization whose metadata you want to restore. This means that you can restore from a production or sandbox organization only to its sandbox copies.

Important

If you plan to restore user profiles to another organization, keep in mind that the same set of objects and fields must exist in the target organization.
