What is the consequence of pushing changes from the Copado CLI that includes a complete profile file?

When changes are pushed from the Copado CLI that include a complete profile file, it means that the entire profile, including its settings and permissions, is being deployed. This action can lead to unintended consequences, particularly if other developers are concurrently working on the same profile or if there are dependencies on specific settings within that profile.

Pushing a complete profile can overwrite existing settings, potentially leading to conflicts or loss of important configurations that others have implemented. This is particularly true in environments where multiple team members collaborate and may have made custom adjustments to profiles. Therefore, it may disrupt other work in progress by overwriting those changes, causing integration challenges and requiring additional corrections or reconciliations among team members.

The other options do not accurately reflect the consequences of this action. Updating a profile with new changes, while theoretically possible, implies that only incremental adjustments are being made, which is not the case when a complete profile file is pushed. It is also incorrect to assert that it wouldn’t affect existing profiles or that it always leads to a successful deployment, as these outcomes are not guaranteed when overwriting existing configurations.
