Sandboxes
Adobe Experience Platform is built to enrich digital experience applications on a global scale. Companies often run multiple digital experience applications in parallel and need to cater for the development, testing, and deployment of these applications while ensuring operational compliance. To address this need, Experience Platform provides sandboxes that partition a single Platform instance into separate virtual environments to help develop and evolve digital experience applications.

| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Sandbox tooling | The sandbox tooling feature allows you to improve configuration accuracy across sandboxes and seamlessly export and import sandbox configurations between sandboxes. You can use the sandbox tooling feature to select different objects and export them into a package. For more information, see the sandbox tooling UI guide. |
For more information on sandboxes, please see the sandboxes overview.
Segmentation Service
Segmentation Service allows you to segment data stored in Experience Platform that relates to individuals (such as customers, prospects, users, or organizations) into audiences. You can create audiences through segment definitions or other sources from your Real-Time Customer Profile data. These audiences are centrally configured and maintained on Platform, and are readily accessible by any Adobe solution.
