  <Steps>
    <Step title="Select the right environment">
      <div data-guide-step data-guide-scopes="" data-guide-display-scopes-list="">
        <p>When connecting Deel to StackOne, you will be asked to select an environment.</p>

        <ul>
          <li><strong>Production</strong> — Uses your live Deel organization with real employee and contractor data at `app.deel.com`</li>
          <li><strong>Sandbox</strong> — Uses simulated data for testing at `app.demo.deel.com`. Create a sandbox from the Developer Center if you don't have one</li>
          <li>Each environment requires its own API token</li>
          <li>You can switch environments later by creating a new connection</li>
