Directus Sandbox – Upgrade to v12

Hi everyone,

I’ve been following the improvements in the v12 upgrade with great interest recently. Unfortunately, the Directus Sandbox environment (https://sandbox.directus.com/) hasn’t been updated yet, so I still can’t test the new features. Does anyone know when the Sandbox will be updated, or why there hasn’t been an update yet?

Thanks!

Hi @directusIsFun, thanks for your patience with my reply.

We’re reviewing the future of the Sandbox as we look at better ways to let people explore Directus. So at this time, I wouldn’t recommend waiting on its update to try v12.

Instead, there are a couple of quick ways to test the new features:

- One-click deploy on RailwayThis spins up your own hosted instance in a few minutes and is kept up to date with v12.

- Run it locally – If you have Docker, you can be up and running on the latest release in one command.

Both will give you a much better experience than the Sandbox, since you get full admin access rather than a shared environment.

I hope this helps and that Directus v12 is Fun :slight_smile:

Thanks for your feedback!
