What is sandbox Preview?
The sandbox preview is a 4-week window ahead of a major Salesforce release when all preview sandboxes are upgraded to the next major Salesforce release. It’s your first chance to test your configurations on the new release. Sandboxes are updated in groups, based on the instance where they’re located.
What is workday sandbox?
The Sandbox tenant is a copy of the Production tenant which Workday provides as a second tenant. The creation of your Sandbox tenant coincides with the timing of your initial Workday Service go-live date. We recommend using your Sandbox for a variety of purposes, including testing configuration changes and training.
What are tenants in Workday?
Workday® Tenants GMS (Global Modern Services Tenant): a services tenant with fictitious test data for Workday® implementation partners to create demos, test upgrades, and try configurations.

When do sandboxes move to non preview instance?
However, sandboxes that are refreshed during the sandbox preview period (typically 4-6 weeks before the production release) move to a non-preview instance. If you have a preview sandbox and want to keep it, don’t refresh it after the sandbox preview cutoff date, or you could inadvertently lose the upgrade.
Where do I find my sandbox in setup?
You can find your sandbox list in Setup. Make a note of the instance numbers listed in the Location column. When you have the instance numbers, check each sandbox to see if it’s on a preview or non-preview instance. A good time to do this is right after the Sandbox Preview Instructions Blog is posted, but you can do it anytime.
How is the location of a sandbox determined?
The location of a sandbox is determined by the timing of the most recent refresh. Most of the time, refreshing a sandbox sends the sandbox to a preview instance. However, sandboxes that are refreshed during the sandbox preview period (typically 4-6 weeks before the production release) move to a non-preview instance.
