# Immediate Persistence of Variables Regardless of Deployment Outcome

> env zero now saves environment variables at deployment time rather than only on success, so variable changes are retained even when a deployment fails.

### Immediate Variable Persistence: New Feature Rolling Out on 11/01/2023

Starting on 11/01/2023, env zero is changing how it handles the persistence of environment variables.

### What's Changing?

Previously, your environment variables were only saved following a successful deployment. We designed this feature believing it would help revert to stable configurations if a deployment failed. However, we heard your frustrations. That's why we're changing. With the update, env0 will save your variables immediately at the time of deployment, regardless of the outcome.

### Why This Matters

* **Smoother Process:** No need to re-enter variables after an unsuccessful deployment. Debug and iterate faster!
* **Friendly for Beginners:** Those new to Terraform will enjoy a more forgiving experience, reducing the initial friction and frustration.

### Action Required

This change is coming fast, rolling out on November 1st 2023. If your workflows rely on the old behavior, it's important to adjust them. Prepare now to embrace the new approach for a smoother, more efficient experience.
