ToolJet's **multi-environment** helps in streamlining workflows, thereby minimizing the chances of errors, and enables effective application management. Using multi-environment ensures that your ToolJet application is rigorously tested before it is made available to users.

### Environments

ToolJet provides three default **environments**:
- **Production**
- **Development**
- **Staging**

:::info
The default environments cannot be removed or renamed.

### Configuring connections for environments

To configure connection settings for different environments, follow these steps:

1. Go to the **[Global Datasource](/docs/data-sources/overview)** page.
2. Click on the **Add new datasource** button.
3. Choose a datasource. In the connection modal, you'll find three tabs: **Production**, **Staging**, and **Development**.
4. Switch to each tab and enter the appropriate credentials for connecting to the respective database. Remember to save after entering credentials on each tab.

ToolJet automatically saves your most recently selected environment in the app builder. The next time you open an app, it will use the same environment. For example, if you switch to the staging environment in an app, the next time you open it will automatically use the same staging environment.

The default environment for released apps is **Production**.
