Syncing your Sandbox and Live Site data
Last updated: September 23, 2026
We're often asked whether it's possible to "sync" or match the data between a Sandbox and Live Site (or vice versa). While there isn't a way to fully sync the two environments, many configuration items can be updated via export/import.
