Blue Canvas tracks just about every type of metadata today. Included are for example Classes, Triggers, Settings, Visualforce Pages, Custom Fields, Workflow Rules, and Custom Objects, as well as the types listed in the Salesforce documentation for the Metadata API.
A standard package.xml in the repository tells us which types to track.
Standard package.xml during the beta
During the beta, Blue Canvas uses a standard package.xml to track metadata types. In the future, we will allow you to customize which metadata types you want Blue Canvas to track.
More types coming soon
As Blue Canvas grows the platform we will start to support more metadata types. If you there is an unsupported metadata type that you would like to see prioritized, please email team@bluecanvas.io.
There are a few types of metadata which are not currently tracked because they require special attention when tracking or deploying them. Ultimately, Blue Canvas plans to track all types, just like it does with Classes, Triggers, Settings and Visualforce pages.
Currently, Blue Canvas cannot track changes to:
Profile
Variable content dependent on other types. Large file size.
PermissionSet
Variable content dependent on other types. Large file size.
Document
No wildcard support. Binary content.
EmailTemplate
No wildcard support.
StaticResource
No wildcard support. Binary content.
InstalledPackage
Irregular deployment-only type.
SiteDotCom
Binary content.
GlobalPicklist
Renamed to GlobalValueSet as of 38.0
Network
Unreliable; cannot be deactivated or deleted
CustomObjectTranslation
Translations
FlexiPage
ContentAsset
Binary content.
CleanDataService
CustomFeedFilter
InstalledPackage
Irregular deployment-only type
In addition, none of the types unsupported by the Metadata API can be tracked.
