Copying environments of different types

Copy an Environment:

1.  We can create 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.


To copy an environment

1.     Select Environments, then select the environment that you want to copy.

2.     On the Environment Details page, choose the Copy action.

3.     In the Copy environment pane, specify the type of environment that you want to create based on the current environment.

4.     Specify a name for the new environment.

5.     Choose the Create action.




At the different stages of implementation, testing, support, and maintenance of a Business Central tenant, Business Central online now provides admins with more flexibility when they work with multiple environments.

In earlier versions, you could copy a production environment to a sandbox environment in the Business Central admin centre.

This release wave adds support for copying the environments within and across different environment types as shown in this list:
