Demo Data Sandbox

Outcome

You can create disposable sample content across supported integration types, test workflows and imports, then remove the demo data cleanly.

Video walkthrough

Before you start

• Use a local, staging, or throwaway site.
• Do not seed demo data directly on production.
• Confirm you can remove demo data after testing.

Steps

1. Seed demo data
   Use the Activity/tools UI or WP-CLI demo command to create test content.
2. Run exports/imports against the sample set
   Practice selected pushes, dry runs, conflicts, and restores.
3. Inspect Activity
   Use demo runs to understand logs before real releases.
4. Remove demo data
   Clean up all seeded content when testing is complete.
5. Reset only plugin runtime data when needed
   Use Tools & Cleanup for logs/transients/jobs without removing storage JSON files.

Verify and recover

Use demo data only on local, staging, or disposable sites. Seeded content is tagged for cleanup, and the demo CLI can remove it after testing.
