Quick summary
A Salesforce sandbox is an isolated environment used to safely test code changes and customizations without affecting your live production org. This demo walks you through the exact steps to create a Developer Sandbox in Salesforce Setup in under ten minutes.
Steps
- Go to Setup in the top right corner of your Salesforce instance.
- Find Sandboxes by typing "Sandboxes" into the Quick Find box and selecting it from the results.
- Click New Sandbox to begin the sandbox creation process.
- Assign a name to your new sandbox.
- Choose Developer Sandbox as the sandbox type, which is ideal for testing code changes and customizations.
- Leave the Apex Class field empty if not needed, then define the access level for the sandbox.
- Click Create to submit the sandbox creation request.
- Wait for the sandbox to become available — provisioning can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours.
