HubSpot is sunsetting its legacy standard sandboxes. If you’re still using one, there’s no complex migration path — but there are a few important steps you shouldn’t skip.
What to do now
- Create a new sandbox
Set up a new standard sandbox directly in HubSpot. This will be your future testing environment.
- Review your old sandbox
Check if there’s anything truly important inside it (custom properties, workflows, test objects). Most teams realize they don’t actually need much.
- Recreate only what matters
If something is still relevant, rebuild it manually in the new sandbox. Don’t copy old clutter.
- Delete the legacy sandbox
Once you’ve confirmed everything important is covered, remove the old sandbox.

Why HubSpot Is Making This Change
HubSpot is simplifying sandbox management and aligning environments more closely with how teams actually test today. Instead of maintaining outdated sandbox setups, the focus is on cleaner, more intentional test environments that mirror real use cases.
This is also a good moment to clean up outdated workflows, unused properties, and old experiments that no longer reflect how your CRM is used.
Use This Change as a Cleanup Opportunity
Most teams treat sandbox changes as a chore. In reality, this is a chance to:
- Remove legacy test setups
- Rebuild only what’s still relevant
- Improve how you test before going live
A cleaner sandbox usually leads to fewer production mistakes.
