Get a safe test environment in Business Central with VisionSandbox
When you copy production to a new sandbox, customer email addresses, integrations, and active job queues come along — and suddenly your test environment sends real emails. VisionSandbox runs automatically when the environment is created: field values are replaced, configuration packages are applied, and only your chosen job queue entries start — across all companies.
Establish a proper test environment for your Business Central Online
When you set up a new test environment based on your Business Central Online production environment, you can mark once and for all which setups from the production (customer email addresses, production integrations, mailings, bank transfers, etc.) that should NOT be used in the company's testing of the processes in the test environment.

Avoid sending emails to real customers when testing
Skip the production setups you do not want in your test environment
Production setups must be disabled in the test environment
Test your processes in a test environment - without involving real customers/suppliers
Avoid (re-) loading data from the production environment into the test
Replace production email addresses with internal email addresses in the test
With VisionSandbox, you choose which configurations and email addresses from the production environment that you want to change to Test email addresses, so that the new test environment, for example, does not automatically send emails to the wrong customers or suppliers from the production environment.
Work in the test environment without worries
VisionSandbox ensures that production setups are not established in the test environment when establishing a test environment from the production environment
Avoid sending emails and data to partners again
Replace real customer email addresses with Test addresses in the test environment, so you can see that processes work in the test environment without involving “real” customers and partners
Keep track of your setups in the test environment
With VisionSandbox, you make sure no live systems accidentally exchange data with your test environment to or from your Test environment by Business Central Online
Turn off data exchanges automatically in the test environment
Your notifications and automatic data exchanges are important in production, but very inappropriate to enable in the test environment
Automatic data loading from operation is turned off in tests
When creating a test environment as a copy of the operating environment, VisionSandbox ensures that data exchanges between production databases are inactive in the test environment - or automatically changed to relevant test environments and folders
Full copy of data, but critical operational setups are turned off
VisionSandbox ensures a full copy of the operating environment, but allows you to specify test setups other than those currently in operation
Get a full copy for the test environment - but without unwanted production setups
When you use VisionSandbox, you ensure that the full copy of the operating environment for your production environment of Business Central Online does NOT contain email addresses and other configured data exchange parameters from the critical operating environment, as these are changed once and for all to Test addresses, etc., so that you can test your processes in peace and quiet in the test environment - without affecting your colleagues or your production integrations.

Frequently asked questions
Questions? Here are the answers we most often give:
What does VisionSandbox cost?
VisionSandbox is priced per Business Central tenant on a yearly subscription — with a 30-day free trial.
Why is a copy of production risky?
Because customer email addresses, integrations and active job queues come along with the copy — without cleanup, the test environment can send real emails. VisionSandbox runs automatically the moment the sandbox is created.
What does VisionSandbox clean up?
Field-value replacements clean email addresses and other critical fields, job queues are configured for sandbox operation, and configuration packages are loaded automatically.
Does it work with Continia apps?
Yes. Continia apps are activated correctly as part of the preparation.
Can we see what was done?
Yes. You can follow the preparation status and review the log, so you know exactly what was changed in the sandbox.
The sandbox is ready immediately – and never sends a real email
A copy of production is the best test environment – and the most dangerous one: customer emails, integrations and active job queues come along, and suddenly the test environment has sent real reminders. VisionSandbox runs automatically the moment the sandbox is created and makes it safe before anyone logs in.
Field-value replacements clean email addresses and other critical fields, job queues are configured for sandbox operation, configuration packages are loaded, and Continia apps are activated correctly. You can run several sandbox environments, each with its own setup – and follow the preparation status and log, so you know exactly what was done.
