How should incremental changes in profiles and permissions typically be handled?

Including the affected profile or permission set in the same commit is the recommended approach for handling incremental changes in profiles and permissions. This ensures that any modifications made to the profiles or permission sets are tracked in a coherent manner, making it clear what changes were implemented and why.

By committing these changes together, teams can maintain a clean and organized change history, which is essential for understanding the context of those modifications in future reviews or audits. This practice also supports collaboration among team members, as everyone will be aware of the specific updates made to access controls or user permissions as part of that commit.

Incremental changes usually involve minor adjustments rather than wholesale alterations, making it crucial to maintain the integrity of related configurations. Therefore, having all relevant changes in one commit allows for easier rollback and clear traceability of changes within the version control system.

Handling profiles and permissions in isolation—such as making changes without specific components or completely recreating them—can lead to confusion and potential errors, impacting overall system integrity and user access.
