Workspace quickstart
The Workspace is the browser interface for working on a product sandbox. It gives you access to the sandbox’s files, runtime, tools, and live preview without requiring a local PHP installation.
In this quickstart, you will create a Laravel project, ask the agent for a change, and review the result in Preview.
Create a Laravel sandbox
- Sign in to PHPSandbox.
- Describe the product you want in the prompt on the home page.
- Choose a Laravel starter kit when you want to control the framework and frontend stack.
- Submit the prompt and wait for the Workspace to open and prepare the sandbox.
To begin with an existing project instead, see Create or import.
Make a change
Ask the agent to change visible text on the welcome page, or open resources/views/welcome.blade.php from the file explorer and edit it directly.
Agent and editor changes are written to the same sandbox filesystem, where they are available to the running project.
See the result
Open Preview and refresh it if necessary. The welcome page should display the text you changed.
You have now created a product sandbox, changed its files, and viewed the running result without setting up the project on your computer.
The same Workspace also provides terminals, dependency management, environment settings, mail inspection, version control, and sharing when you need them.
What to read next
- Create or import to start from an existing project.
- Workspace tools to learn what else is available in the Workspace.
- Previews and sharing to share what is running in a sandbox.
