an environment that is a copy of an existing environment, such as a sandbox
that is based on production for troubleshooting.
2. Creating
production environment that is based on a sandbox, for example. When you create
an environment as a copy of another environment, the new environment is created
on the same application version as the environment that you are copying.
Note: The new environment will contain all
per-tenant extensions and AppSource extensions that are installed and published
in the original environment that is being copied.
