What is the MakerHub Sandbox?

The Sandbox is a special Admin sub-category which is used for testing and experimentation. Generally speaking, the Sandbox shouldn’t be used for articles intended for publication as any article (and post for that matter) may be saved as an unpublished draft while in-progress.

When should I use the Sandbox?

Generally speaking, you probably won’t need to. However, if you’re learning how to implement new Shortcodes or want to test the comment system without adding comments to actual articles, this is the place to go. Super administrators may also use the sandbox to test upcoming functionality.

Sandbox Etiquette

Just as when playing in any sandbox, keep your hands to yourself and clean up when you’re done. That said, if you make something you feel proud of or which you want to refer back to as reference, you may leave it published and others will respect your work. And of course, keep it professional.
