# Gain Instance-Level Control Over On-Demand Sandbox Availability

For flexible and cost-effective sandbox management, create schedulers for individual on-demand sandboxes (ODS). Instance-level schedulers control when an on-demand sandbox instance stops and starts, so you can configure sandbox availability based on usage patterns. Individual instance schedulers override any realm-level schedulers.

**Where:** This change applies to all on-demand sandboxes that you manage with Control Center for B2C Commerce.

**When:** The change is available in February 2026.

**Who:** Control Center admins or users for B2C Commerce.

**How:** On the Realm page, select an ODS entry to open the instance page. Click **Scheduler**, and then **Create Operation Scheduler**. Define a start scheduler, a stop scheduler, or both.
