What options are available to create a Scratch Org with pre-existing metadata?

The correct choice is centered on using the Scratch Org Wizard and User Story Operations. The Scratch Org Wizard is a straightforward interface in the Copado platform that allows users to create Scratch Orgs and facilitates the process of selecting and loading pre-existing metadata. This is particularly beneficial for developers who want to quickly spin up a new Scratch Org for development or testing purposes with specific configurations and components already in place.

User Story Operations complement this process by linking user stories with metadata changes. When a user story is created, it can be associated with particular metadata items, allowing a more organized and controlled approach to deploying changes into a Scratch Org. This integration ensures that developers are working with the exact metadata required for their current tasks, streamlining their workflow and enhancing productivity.

The other options involve aspects of tool functionality but do not effectively highlight a direct method for creating a Scratch Org with pre-existing metadata in the context of Copado practices.
