Consider these common use cases when working in sandbox mode.
- Adding an entity that doesn’t yet exist in production.
- The created entity only appears in sandbox.
- When deployed to production, the entity loses its sandbox status and becomes a production entity.
- The new production entity is now accessible in both sandbox and production modes, like any other production entity.
- Modifying an existing production entity.
- A copy of the entity is created in sandbox.
- Only the copied version is accessible in sandbox while only the original is accessible in production.
- When the modified version is deployed to production, it replaces the existing entity in production.
- The updated entity is now accessible in both sandbox and production modes, like any other production entity.
- Removing an existing production entity.
- When you remove an existing entity in sandbox, it no longer impacts anything in sandbox. The entity is still visible as a deleted entity in case you want to reinstate it.
- When sandbox is deployed to production, the entity is deleted from both sandbox and production.
