Update Environment Type

   

PUT {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/type

To update the configuration of your environment, you can use PUT {{apiPath}}/environments/{{envID}}/type to change the environment type. The example shows a SANDBOX environment resource type is changed to PRODUCTION.

Once you have promoted a SANDBOX environment to a PRODUCTION environment, you cannot then demote the environment back to SANDBOX.

If you have a trial license, you cannot create PRODUCTION environments or promote SANDBOX environments to PRODUCTION.
