Things that wonā€™t work during review (but will work once launched)

Some functions will only work when your site is live on a colorado.edu URL. The following features won't function correctly while you're reviewing the site in the sandbox environment (pantheon.io URL):

  1. Chat Widgets:

    • Chat widgets will not display on your migrated site until the site is launched. These widgets only function on a colorado.edu URL, so expect them to be inactive in the sandbox environment.

  2. Campus News Block:

    • The campus news block will not pull in CU Boulder Today articles while in the sandbox. This feature will work correctly once your site is live on aĀ colorado.eduĀ URL.

  3. Legacy Sandbox Links:

    • Web Express sites created before Spring 2022 may appear to have broken links in the sandbox environment. These links, starting with ā€œp1ā€ followed by numbers and letters, will result in a 404 error in the sandbox. They will function properly once your site is live on your colorado.edu URL.

  4. Webform Submissions:

    • Webform submissions will not be processed in the sandbox. Test submissions may not come through. Once the site is live on a colorado.edu URL, webform submissions will be processed correctly.
