Points to remember:

1. Currently, Sandbox will allow deployment to production for Profiles, Roles, Data Sharing Settings, Groups, Multi-currency, Territory Management, Automation, Customization, Templates, Custom Schedules, Webforms, Auto Response Rules, Workflow Rules, Blueprint.
   
2. Sandbox allows you to test what happens not only when you add new configurations, but also when you edit or delete an existing configuration.
   
3. Emails sent from the Sandbox environment will not be delivered to the recipients.
   Emails triggered through Workflow Rules or Blueprints will not be delivered but displayed in the Email related list of the record.
4. Migrating data from another recruitment software is possible in the Sandbox. You can also import records to the specific modules.
   
5. Updating a field in sandbox and deploying the changes to production will overwrite the existing field properties.
   For example, if the email field is marked as "mandatory" in the sandbox and "unique field" in production. Then, after deployment the field property will be overwritten to mandatory.
6. To know whether you are working on the Sandbox environment or production setup, look out for a bright orange Sandbox ribbon. This is used to differentiate the Sandbox from your production setup. 
   
7. Sandbox is only to test configurations in Zoho Recruit. Records that you enter into the Sandbox cannot be deployed to production.
   
8. You can select all the changes or the required ones partially from the Change Set and then deploy them to the production.
   
9. Once you have deployed changes to production, the remaining changes in the Change set will be retained until the next refresh. 
   
10. You can refresh the Sandbox settings using the Refresh Settings option once in 3 days. When you refresh settings, all existing Sandbox configurations are deleted and the Sandbox environment will mirror the latest production setup.
    
11. The changes deployed via Sandbox in the last 6 months will be listed in the Deployment Logs section in the Sandbox page.
