Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello Everyone.

I wanted to know about environments in Power Platform.

I want to make 3 environments. One for developing, one for testing and one for production.

So for development what environment should I prefer Developer or Sandbox or Default? [Also give explanation please]

So what exactly is the difference between the above three??

I have heard that Sandbox has copy and reset feature. So, with copy feature can I copy all the apps, flows etc from Developing environment to Testing environment without adding the apps, flows to solutions?? So should I prefer Sandbox for developing as well as I will have to transfer them to testing environment??? Also why we use Reset feature??

And I also read Sandbox environment can be converted from sandbox to production and vice versa. Is it a good technique???

According to me, I should keep them separate only.

And at end I want to ask about environment variables. How important they are? Can we make solutions and transfer it another solution without environment variables? Is it necessary to have environment variables or we can ignore them? What is the actual theory behind making environment variables and using them??

Please dont provide any links of blogs, posts etc or a you tube video. I have seen many.

I need real experience here. The limitations of using some of the environments mentioned above. The limitation of copy feature in a sandbox environment and can I prefer it over making solutions.

Thanks. 🙂
