What mode allows Looker developers to specify the exact commit for the production version of their Looker instance?

Advanced deploy mode is specifically designed for Looker developers to manage deployments in a more controlled and precise manner. This mode allows developers to specify the exact commit of their LookML code that should be deployed to the production environment. By enabling the selection of a particular commit, advanced deploy mode provides a safety net for developers, ensuring that only thoroughly tested and verified versions of their content are live in production.

This capability is particularly beneficial in organizations where changes need to be carefully managed, as it allows for selective deployment of features and fixes while minimizing the risk of introducing errors. Additionally, it aids in maintaining a stable production environment by enabling rollbacks to previous commits if necessary.

In contrast, the other modes may not offer this level of granular control over deployments, which means developers cannot specify exact commits as precisely as they can in advanced deploy mode.
