Summary
In this chapter, we introduced sandboxes and how to create them. We discussed the four types of sandboxes, their differences, and how each type is used for different purposes. The purpose of any sandbox, ultimately, is to build and configure features without disrupting the production environment. We saw that once we are done building these features in a sandbox, we can use change sets to move their features.
By doing this, we learned how to create change sets, how to upload the change sets to production, and how to deploy the change sets. These skills will help you build and test your configuration and automation features in a safe environment where you cannot disrupt users. After this, you can push those features to users with the confidence that they will work in production.
In the next chapter, we will learn about some of the most common configuration changes we need to make when configuring objects for our businesses.
