Performance recommendations

This article outlines best practices for achieving the fastest possible import times when importing managed solutions in Power Platform.

• Use the Single-Stage Upgrade option. Use stage-and-upgrade instead of two-stage holding solutions. Two-stage upgrades (import-as-holding) are slower.
• Don't use the Import as a managed solution option. This convert-to-managed option is deprecated and should no longer be used.
• Avoid using the Overwrite unmanaged customizations option. The Overwrite unmanaged customizations option (force-overwrite) forces the import process to overwrite any active customizations in the target environment. This option significantly slows down the import process and is discouraged. The recommended approach is to prevent unmanaged customizations in the target environment from the outset. To help with controlling unmanaged customizations in your nondevelopment environments, consider using the feature Block unmanaged customizations in Dataverse
• Don't use the Publish all customizations option for managed solutions. The Publish all customizations is only needed after importing unmanaged solutions and shouldn't be used for managed solutions because it slows down the deployment. Notice that the Publish all customizations option doesn't apply only to the selected solution. It publishes all pending changes across the entire environment.

The table below lists the option names used across the available tools.
