Important Notes

• Your staging environment is not synced with your production platform. It is not possible to import data from staging to production or production to staging. Any additions and custom modifications will need to be manually copied into your production platform.
• If you add a feed, it will import once but it will not automatically import each night.
• Single-sign on is not enabled on staging, so you will need to access staging via the link in the Settings tab instead of directly visiting the staging URL.
