What are environments?
- 7 minutes
Imagine having the power to test and develop your project without jeopardizing its live content – that’s where environments come into play in Kontent.ai. Acting as snapshots of a project’s content, developers can use environments to safely build new features, test modifications, and perform integrations in either production or non-production settings.

Working with environments often means more than just creating or cloning them. Whether you’re syncing content, cleaning up after testing, or preparing for production, having the right tools makes all the difference. This lesson introduces two key tools that help you manage environments effectively: Migration toolkit and data-ops.
Sync across environments using data-ops
