## Deployment Manager behavior

Deployment Manager has the following behaviors by design concerning Workflow, Custom objects and custom logic, Hosted payment pages, Accounting Period, Taxation, Custom Fields, Notifications, Custom events, User roles, Reporting, Experience builder, and Platforms. It is recommended that Notifications and Workflow be deployed as separate components without any other deployment components for best results.
