What is the easiest way to prevent the sales reps layout from being deployed while allowing the support team layout deployment?

The most effective way to prevent the sales reps layout from being deployed while allowing the support team layout deployment is to use the Re-Create Feature Branch functionality and specifically select only the support team layout. This method ensures that the new branch is created based solely on the configurations identified, which in this case includes only the support team layout. By selecting this option, you can streamline the deployment process, minimizing the risk of unintentionally including the sales reps layout.

Using the Re-Create Feature Branch checkbox effectively focuses the deployment scope, which directly addresses the need to isolate changes relevant to the support team without affecting other configurations like the sales reps layout. This strategy also enhances the efficiency and cleanliness of the deployment process, as configurations not needed can be excluded right at the branch creation stage.

The other choices would not provide the same level of efficiency or precision in managing the deployment of specific layouts. For example, deleting the sales reps layout using Git Branching may lead to complexities or data loss. Manually removing layouts from the deployment list can be prone to errors if multiple items are involved, and creating a new user story for just the support team layout may complicate version control or tracking changes across multiple stories.
