# Deploy Custom Metadata Types and Records to Production Orgs Using Change Sets

Use change sets to deploy custom metadata types and records from a sandbox to another org. Typically you deploy the change set to a production org.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition">

You can add custom metadata types and records to change sets using the Lightning Platform user interface. From Setup, enter Outbound Change Sets in the Quick Find box, then select **Outbound Change Sets**, click your change set name, and then click **Add**.

- [Custom Metadata Types](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.custommetadatatypes_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can create your own declarative developer frameworks for internal teams, partners, and customers. Rather than building apps from data, you can build apps that are defined and driven by their own types of metadata. Metadata is the information that describes the configuration of each customer’s organization.")

## Add Custom Metadata Types

1. Select the **Custom Metadata Type** component type.
2. Select the custom metadata type you want to add to your outbound change set.
3. Click **Add to Change Set**.
4. To view the dependent components, such as a custom field or a page layout, click **View/Add Dependencies**.
5. Select the dependent components you want to add.
6. Click **Add to Change Set**.

## Add Custom Metadata Records

1. Select the custom metadata type’s label ​from the available component types, for example, `Threat Tier`. If the type is from a package that you’re extending, use `Threat Tier [vacations]`.
2. Select the records to add.
3. Click **Add to Change Set**.

If you add a record to a change set, its corresponding type is included in the list of dependent components. If you add a type to a change set, its records are not automatically included in the list of dependent components.
