This page provides an overview of sandbox types and capabilities. See “Sandbox Feature Quick Reference” table for an overview of sandbox capabilities.
Objectives for this Resource:
A sandbox is a copy of a production environment, commonly used for testing and development. Sandbox and production environments use different login URLs:
- Production Environments: https://login.salesforce.com
- Sandbox Environments: https://test.salesforce.com
If you know which pod your org is hosted on (see below), you can also login directly to this pod (for example, https://na38.salesforce.com). This is usually only helpful immediately after you’ve changed a username (it can take a few minutes for login.salesforce.com to reflect a username change) or there is an outage impacting user authentication.
