We started in the first few steps by selecting our base solution and creating a patch for it. Note how, in step 3, Dynamics 365 automatically incremented the minor version number. When we open the newly created solution in step 4, you will notice that the patch does not contain any components. The whole point of a patch is to only add a few items to your solution.
If you are after the complete base solution with alterations instead of an empty solution with minor additions, consider using a Clone solution.
In step 4 to step 6, we chose the items to add and saved the patch. The patch is now ready to be exported and deployed into another environment.
