    Hi,

    Sandbox is a non-production environment, which implies that the sandbox is same as your UAT environment

    Hi,

    Sandbox is used for testing and training purpose. We update latest versions in sandbox to validate business processes before updating in other environments. This is the environment which we use it for testing before setting up UAT environment.
