| - **Configuration**: roles, policies, access, permissions, flows, operations, dashboards, panels, settings, media-library folders, and custom Data Studio translation strings. | ||
| - **Opt-in**: user accounts, with every secret field stripped. | ||

Suggested change
| A pull writes all of this by default, and can be narrowed. `--collections posts` limits which Schema sync files it overwrites; resource flags like `--flows` or `--no-schema` select which Configuration files it touches. That is how you promote finished work from a shared development instance while unfinished work stays out of the sync files entirely — unlike a full snapshot, a pull is not all-or-nothing. Scope is by collection and resource type, not by individual record. See [Promote only the changes that are ready](/docs/guides/environment-sync/common-workflows#promote-only-the-changes-that-are-ready). |
