Question

How do I change the name and appearance of my base sandbox to differentiate it from the productive base

I have a production base and a sandbox version of the same. I often accidentally mix the two if I don’t carefully look up to check that I’m in “ Sandbox”  mode when I’m working fast.  I’ve read you can change the color or base name e.g., “ Base (Sandbox)”  vs. “ Based (Prod)” from the home screen.  However when I try that I only see the main Prod base and it’s only allowing me to modify the name of the Prod base. I don’t see  a separate way to modify the name of sandbox itself.

Has anyone been able to manage this? and how? Thank you.

No - you cannot rename or change the color/icon of the sandbox itself in Airtable.

Just “Star” it, and launch from left side bar.
 

 

and it always shows you which environment you are in on the top right, and you can click and switch between them.
