Records are modified in the Staging environment and then moved to Production using the
promotion process. Promotion can be handled automatically or manually, depending on system
configuration. A package is a group of records from linked repositories. If a repository is
designated as package-dependent, none of its records will be promoted to Production if any
of the records in the package have severe validation errors. If a repository is not
designated as package-dependent, its valid records will be promoted to Production even if
the packages containing them are deemed invalid.
