Accelerate DX Inspector Data Deployment with SOQL

Speed up your deployment process from DX Inspector by using SELECT queries to define the records that you want to deploy. Enter Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) queries to fetch specific records and fields from your source org. This feature is a faster alternative to filters, enabling you to fetch data based on complex criteria instantly.

Where: This feature is available in all sandboxes and scratch orgs accessed through Lightning Experience. SOQL filtering is available in Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions.

Note SOQL filtering within the metadata and data deployment feature is available as a developer preview. Feature isn’t generally available unless or until Salesforce announces its general availability in documentation or in press releases or public statements. All commands, parameters, and other features are subject to change or deprecation at any time, with or without notice. Don't implement functionality developed with these commands or tools.

When: This feature is available starting on February 1, 2026. 

Who: This feature is available to sandbox and scratch org users with the Customize Application user permission.
