Creating and using sandboxes
When working day to day as an admin, it is important that you do not make changes that can disrupt your active users. For this reason, we create and test new features in sandboxes. Sandboxes are environments that are isolated from your production Salesforce environment. This means you can make and test changes and they will have no impact whatsoever on your live users. In this section, we will introduce a business use case and learn how to create a sandbox.

You are the Salesforce admin at XYZ Widgets. You have some configuration and automation ideas that you would like to build and test, but you don’t want to cause any interruptions in the live production organization. You decide to create a sandbox to complete and test your work. Once the work has been completed and tested, you will push it to production using change sets. Let’s see how all of this works.
