What Happens When a Sandbox is Published?

When a user publishes the data in a sandbox:

  • The modified data in the sandbox is saved to the application only for those intersections that are visible in the base view at the time the data is published and only for those cells to which the user has write permission. Sandbox data is saved to the base view in all affected forms and cubes. Even if the user has modified data in multiple forms or different page/POV combinations, all modified data, supporting detail, and comments are moved to the application.

  • The application deletes the sandbox. (Service Administrators can delete sandboxes before the data in them is published. See Managing Sandboxes.)

  • If the publish action takes longer than the three minute default, then the job runs in the background and is displayed in the Job.

Note:

If multiple users publish sandbox data to the same member in the base view, the most recently published data overwrites previously published data.
