# Select Components for an Outbound Change Set

You typically use an outbound change set for customizations created and tested in a sandbox and that are then sent to a production org.

To select the components in an outbound change set:

1. From Setup, enter Outbound Change Sets in the Quick Find box, then select **Outbound Change Sets**.
2. In the Change Sets list, click the name of a change set, or create a new one.
3. Click **Add** to add components.
4. Choose the type of component and the components you want to add, and then click **Add to Change Set**.
5. Click **Add Profiles** to add profile settings to the change set. You can't add profile settings to a change set in Professional Edition.
6. Optionally, click **View/Add Dependencies** to add dependent components. Dependent components rely on the existence of other components. Unless you’re certain that the dependent components exist in every org this change set will be deployed to, add dependent components to the change set.
