What is a Sandbox Environment?
A sandbox environment is essentially a testing ground. It's a separate, isolated copy of your project or a blank space where you can:
- Safely test new features or configurations.
- Train new team members.
- Work on significant updates without impacting your live, production documentation site.
Why Use a Sandbox?
Utilizing a sandbox is a best practice for managing documentation projects. It helps prevent errors from affecting your readers and provides a dedicated space for development and quality assurance before deploying changes to your live site.
