In order to prevent deployment errors to target Salesforce Orgs, enabling **reconcileProfiles** to`true` ensures and extra steps are taken to ensure the profile metadata is cleansed of any missing attributes prior to deployment.

During the reconcilement process, you can provide the follow flags to the command:

* Folder - path to the folder which contains the profiles to be reconciled, if project contain multiple package directories, please provide a comma separated list, if
* Profile List - list of profiles to be reconciled. If omitted, all the profiles components will be reconciled.
* Source Only - set this flag to reconcile profiles only against component available in the project only. Configure ignored permissions in sfdx-project.json file in the array
* Destination Folder - the destination folder for reconciled profiles, if omitted existing profiles will be reconciled and will be rewritten in the current location
