I am currently building our CRM on a sandbox instance. I am aware that I can change the Sandbox site to a production once I am ready to deploy. This is what I plan on doing. My question is, say a few months from now we want to make changes to the production instance. I copy the production to a new sandbox and make a few changes, in the meantime the production instance is still being used. How do I then push my new changes to the production instance, including all of the data that has been imported into prod since the changes started?
Hi,
Ideally, you should develop everything in the Sandbox instance and have your changes included in a Solution.
Every time you are ready with your customization in a Solution on the Sandbox, export the solution and import into the production environment.

That's a standard industry-wide practice of a Dynamics 365/CRM implementation.
Hope this helps.
