Question

Your team uses Azure DevOps with the Power Platform Build Tools to automate deployment of a managed solution from a build environment to a QA environment. After a release, testers report that a recently removed workflow is still active in QA. Investigation shows the solution export/import pipeline succeeded, but the workflow persists across releases. You need to ensure that components deleted from the solution in the source environment are also removed from the target during automated import. Which action should you take in the pipeline configuration?

Accepted Answer

Export and import the solution as a solution upgrade (using stage-and-upgrade) rather than a solution update.

Answer

Enable the 'Overwrite Unmanaged Customizations' option on the Import Solution task.

Answer

Use the 'Import Solution' task with a managed solution and enable the 'Convert to Managed' setting.

Answer

Add a 'Publish Customizations' task after the import to force removal of orphaned components.
