# Using sandbox templates

Developer Sandboxes templates are being deprecated, and should no longer be used.

**Note:** The built-in data generation capability for sandbox templates has been removed. To generate synthetic test data, use AI Data Kit. For more information, see [AI Data Kit](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/intelligent-experiences/now-assist-data-kit-landing.md).

Data is shared by default except for Task and CMDB. To use real data from Task and CMDB in sandboxes, make a request for Now Support to configure those tables as Full Copy or Partial Copy. For more information, see [Developer Sandboxes and metadata](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/application-development/developer-sandboxes/dev-sbx-metadata.md).
