Policy Change Management allows you to create either a sandbox-only policy or a Published version of the policy. If you edit a published version of the policy, a sandbox is created. You can choose to publish the sandbox either as a new version of the policy or a new policy.
For more information on publishing the sandbox, see Section 5.24, Publishing a Sandbox.
For more information on the policy versions, see Section 5.23, Managing Policy Versions.
