# Test and Live Environments

The DMS has two environments where donation widgets are created and managed: Test and Live. Set the toggle to the required environment when creating widgets for integration testing or building production-ready widgets.

### Sandbox Development

Widgets created under the Test Mode will only report data to Test reports and cannot, under any circumstances, be used on a production website. They will not work, and no donations will be collected.

### Production Applications

Switch to Live once ready to deploy production widgets that will record donations and charities and collect the data for [analytics](/app/changeup-dms/reporting.md).
