Devl (Development)

The development environment—or devl for short—is an environment that project team members use to test and write code before it is ready for production. This environment includes sandboxes as well as a number of test environments. One thing that makes development environments special is that you can upload changes directly to them, which makes writing code faster for our team members. Once we’re confident that we’ve written great code that is ready for production, we request a deploy, which allows you to see it in either staging or live.

The most important thing to know is that you can never export or clone from a development environment to production environments, such as live and staging. All content work must be done in production.
