What does the 'Source Credentials' field indicate?

The 'Source Credentials' field indicates the environment from which changes are being deployed. This field is crucial in the deployment process as it specifies the origin of the data or configurations that are being transferred to another environment, typically the target or destination environment. By defining the source credentials, Copado ensures that the correct environment is referenced, allowing for a seamless and accurate deployment of changes.

This capability helps maintain the integrity of the deployment process by allowing users to specify which environment's data or settings should be pulled and acted upon during a deployment, ensuring that the right configurations are moved and avoiding errors or misconfigurations that could arise from pulling from the wrong source.

This understanding allows teams to collaborate more effectively and minimizes the risks associated with environment inconsistencies.
