Sandboxes

Sandboxes are active sessions of blueprints. They have a start and end time and contain resources and connections. Resources that are reserved exclusively in a sandbox can’t be used in another sandbox at the same time. The sandbox has an owner and permitted users who can both edit the sandbox details (extend the duration of the sandbox, add other users, etc.) and work in the sandbox. You can also save and restore a sandbox with the Save and Restore paid add-on, see Sandbox Save and Restore Overview.

📄️ Sandboxes Dashboard

The Sandboxes dashboard displays current, future and historic sandboxes that either you created or were created by users within domains you are permitted to access. It provides an overview of the current state of each sandbox, and a central place from which you can view and access sandboxes. Sandboxes are colored according to their present state - see Filtering sandbox state (Administrators only).

📄️ Opening Sandboxes

There are two ways to open an existing sandbox, from the Sandboxes dashboard and by opening a link to the sandbox.

📄️ Creating Sandboxes

In order to use a blueprint in the catalog, you need to create a sandbox for that blueprint. A sandbox is a live instance of the selected blueprint and once created, it is isolated from the blueprint. It is possible to either reserve an existing blueprint from the catalog or, if the feature is enabled, to start a new blank sandbox and pull resources in dynamically.
