Salesforce Features
Multiple Sandboxes
Your Complete Testing Ground for New Apps
Enterprise and Unlimited Editions; Requires an Additional Fee
- Develop, test, stage, and train concurrently with multiple, distinct Sandboxes
- Enable various users to fully develop in their own Sandbox environments
The ability to fully develop and test new on-demand applications with Salesforce Sandbox was an extremely popular addition to the Apex platform. Since the introduction of Salesforce Sandbox with the Winter ’06 release, users have been clamoring for more—requesting multiple, completely separate environments for testing, development, and training. With Summer ’07, the dream becomes reality: You can create multiple Sandboxes in which developers can work concurrently to create, test, and QA apps, as well as separate versions for training users. Because each Sandbox is an isolated environment, users can work independently of one other without getting in each other’s way.

Feature Details
- Easy Administration: Easily view and manage all Sandboxes with an administrative screen. To help identify each of your multiple environments, each Sandbox can be named, and its status, description, and creation date are displayed on the administrative screen.
- Independent Sandbox Refresh: You can choose when to refresh a particular Sandbox to ensure that your users have the appropriate versions they need. Each Sandbox can be refreshed 30 days after its last refresh.
- Live Refresh: You can continue using a Sandbox even while refreshing it with a new copy—there’s no downtime.
- Refresh History: Easily view a Sandbox’s refresh history, including information such as the refresh date and the user who performed the refresh.
Note: This feature requires an additional fee; contact your salesforce.com representative to activate multiple Sandboxes.
