# Account Engagement Sandboxes

Test new features, integrations, and other high-stakes changes with an Account Engagement sandbox. Sandboxes are isolated test environments so you can make sure everything is working as expected before pushing changes to your production org.

To get the most out of a sandbox, aim to make it a replica of your production org. Here are some key items to consider recreating in your sandbox:

- Automation rules, completion actions, and Engagement Studio programs
- Content such as forms and email templates
- Salesforce Connector settings, including prospect sync rules

After testing in your sandbox, you can manually recreate changes in your production org with confidence. To copy changes to production in bulk, set up the [Account Engagement Sandbox-to-Production Flow](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.pardot_sf_connector_sandbox_flow.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Copy changes and content from your Account Engagement sandbox to a production org with a preconfigured flow in Flow Builder. First, set up authentication between your sandbox org and the production org. Then, test the flow and add the flow component to record pages so that you can easily push changes to production.").
