Sandbox mode

Sandbox mode is a special table mode that lets you safely build, test, and publish table configurations using a small subset of rows—without affecting your running workflow. With sandbox mode you can:

• Test enrichments and integrations on a smaller dataset without using extra credits.
• Hand-pick specific rows from your table to experiment with in your sandbox.
• Keep your production table safe from changes while sandbox mode is active.
• Review all changes before applying them to your full table.

Enabling sandbox mode

1. Click the Sandbox mode button in the toolbar.
2. After a few seconds, a new sandbox will be set up with sample rows, ready for you to make changes.
   • To discard changes and start a fresh copy of the sandbox: Click ⚙️ → Reset sandbox.
   • To turn off sandbox mode: Click Exit sandbox in the toolbar. This will return you to your normal table and discard all unpublished changes in your sandbox.

Using sandbox mode

In sandbox mode, you can test formulas, waterfalls, and enrichments. Here are some other helpful notes:

• You cannot add or edit sources in sandbox mode. To make these changes, first return to your normal table, then re-enable sandbox mode.
• To prevent accidental updates, all outbound actions (actions that send data such as exporting or Write to Other Table) are automatically disabled in sandbox mode.
  • However, you can still manually run individual cells or columns if needed.

Adding data to the sandbox

When you start sandbox mode, the top 10 rows from your existing table will be duplicated as samples. Sandbox tables have a maximum of 50 rows.

To add additional rows to your sandbox:

1. Click Add test data.
2. Enter the number of rows and select your row selection mechanism.
   • If you select Top rows, it will add the next set of rows from the top of the current view in all data.
   • If you select Random set, it will randomly select rows from your All data tab.

To add specific rows:

1. Navigate back to the All data tab using the top navigation.
2. Select a set of rows in the table.
3. Click Add X rows to test data.

Publishing sandbox changes

Viewing changes

Click Review changes to view a list of all structural column updates to your sandbox (compared to your regular table).

This includes:

• Adding/deleting a new column.
• Renaming a column name/description.
• Update configurations to a formula, waterfall, or enrichment.

Notes on publishing changes:

• Visual updates (such as pinned columns, column ordering, and colors) won't appear in the list, but will be applied when you publish.
• Manually added rows and manual overrides to individual cell data will not be published.
• Changes to a column that affect downstream columns are shown in a nested format to clearly indicate which other columns may be impacted.
• Enrichment results from rows run in sandbox mode are copied to your production table on publish, so you don't need to re-run them.

Publishing changes

When you are ready to publish the changes in your sandbox to your regular table, you have two options:

• Publish and don't Run will sync all your column configuration changes to all data but will not start a run for any of these columns. You would need to manually run them later.
• Publish and run will sync all column configuration changes to all data and run all affected columns on all rows in the full table.
