Creating a Premium Zendesk Sandbox with Data Replication
How can I create a premium sandbox with data replication?
To create a premium sandbox with data replication, you can use the Admin Center to initiate the process. The replication retrieves data from your production instance and creates a new subdomain for the sandbox.
The time it takes for replication to complete varies based on the amount of content. You can expedite the process by using the express sandbox setting, which reduces the amount of organization data replicated.
