How to Access Your Sandbox in Business Central

Published in Business Central Environments 2 mins read

Certainly! Accessing your Business Central sandbox environment is a straightforward process primarily done through the Business Central Admin Center.

To access your Business Central sandbox, you need to go through the Admin Center where your environments are managed.

Here's the exact process:

  1. Navigate to the environments list in the Admin Center. This is the central place where you can see and manage all your Business Central instances, including both production and sandbox environments.
  2. Find your sandbox environment and select the "Open" button next to its name. This button acts as a direct link, launching you into that specific environment.

What is a Business Central Sandbox?

A sandbox environment is a non-production instance of Business Central. Based on the reference:

  • It is a fully functional BC environment that mirrors the capabilities of your production instance.
  • Crucially, it is completely isolated. This means you can safely test new features, extensions, customizations, or processes without affecting your live production data or operations. It's the perfect place for training, development, and testing.

Think of the sandbox as your secure testing ground. Any changes or data entered there stay within that environment and do not impact your day-to-day business operations running on your production instance.

In summary, accessing your sandbox involves visiting the Admin Center and clicking 'Open' on the desired sandbox environment from the list.
