# Agency Sandbox Accounts

MetaLocator provides sandbox accounts to allow users to explore and evaluate the platform’s features in a non-production environment. These accounts are designed for testing, demonstrations, and training purposes, but they come with certain limitations compared to fully licensed production accounts.

## Purpose of Sandbox Accounts

Sandbox accounts are ideal for:

* Developing and testing custom interfaces or integrations
* Training new team members on how to use MetaLocator
* Previewing how MetaLocator features work without impacting real data

## Limitations of Sandbox Accounts
