While a sandbox copy or refresh is in progress, a visual progress bar shows three stages: In Queue, Data Copy, and Activation. You can select each stage individually to view additional progress details updated in real time as the copy proceeds.

Note Users can temporarily revert to the old UI in Dev Hub Settings. This override will remain available until the Winter ’27 release.

- For all stages, you can view when the sandbox started and ended that stage, when the internal system last updated progress information, and stage-specific guidance.
- During the Data Copy and Activation stages, you can view the amount of work required and work completed for that stage.
- After the sandbox completes, the sandbox detail view shows how much time before the next available refresh.

This example shows the information available during the Data Copy stage.
