# Use Analytics and Data Features in Non-Production Environments

Test integrations, validate dataflows, and develop configurations with non-production B2C Commerce instances.

**Where:** This change applies to these B2C Commerce product areas:

- Reports & Dashboards
- Data Cloud
- JDBC Connector
- Salesforce B2C Commerce Intelligence Connector

**Why:** Previously, these features were available only on production instances handling live traffic. You can now turn on these features on non-production instances to test configurations and validate dataflows before deploying to production.

**How:** In Business Manager, turn on the **Enable Reports & Dashboards Data Tracking** feature switch for your non-production instance. Supported instances include on-demand sandboxes, development instances, staging instances, and production instances in designated test realms.
