# Marketing Cloud Intelligence Sandbox Use Cases

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.
