A Sandbox is a practice course space where you can familiarize yourself with the features of Canvas.
From your Canvas Dashboard, select the Request a Course Sandbox button to automatically have a Sandbox created for you and add you to the roster as a “teacher.”
Figure 1: Click the "Request a Course Sandbox" button at the right.
Important Notes:
Sandbox courses should never be used to enroll students or to teach credit or non-credit bearing courses.
Only one Sandbox per user ID may be created, so if you already have a Sandbox and you click this button, you will get a message that reads “Error: Sandbox already exists for user.”
Please visit Course Sandbox, Merge Courses, and Master or Manually Enrolled Courses for an overview of the three types of course spaces in Canvas that faculty and staff may request.
