How to Identify Type of Sandbox in Salesforce

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to check which sandbox type you're running in Salesforce.

Quick summary

To identify the type of sandbox in Salesforce, navigate to Setup via the gear icon, then use the Quick Find box to search for Sandboxes — the resulting table displays the sandbox type for each environment directly in a dedicated column.


Steps

  1. Click the gear icon at the top right of the dashboard.
  2. Select Settings or Open Advanced Setup from the dropdown menu.
  3. In the Quick Find search box, type and select Sandboxes.
  4. Review the Sandboxes table — the column displaying the sandbox type gives you the most direct and reliable identification method.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing the exact type of Salesforce sandbox — Developer, Developer Pro, Partial Copy, or Full — is critical for administrators and developers who need to manage data limits, refresh cycles, and deployment testing accurately. Misidentifying a sandbox type can lead to incorrect configuration decisions, data loss, or failed deployments in production environments. The Salesforce Setup menu provides the fastest, most authoritative way to check sandbox type without relying on third-party tools or guesswork. This demo helps Salesforce users instantly locate and verify sandbox information directly within the platform.
