How to distinguish Sandbox from Production bases with the same name?

Hi everyone,

Is there a recommended way or best practice to clearly identify which base is the Sandbox and which one is Production (live data) ?

I've run into an issue where I accidentally connect to the Sandbox base instead of the real one because they have the identical name in the selection menu.

Is there an interface visual indicator or a technical identifier that you use to prevent this mix-up?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hm, where are you selecting the connection from? 

When selecting a base within Airtable or Fillout they indicate whether it’s a Sandbox or not, and so it might come down to the service you’re using I’m afraid

Fillout
Airtable
