  2. Click on the application you want to create a environment site for.
  3. Click on "Staging" in the expanded environment menu in the sidebar.
  4. Click on "Create Environment".
  5. Enter the name of the domain you want to use for your staging environment. Whatever you choose will be followed by .tangiblelaunchpad.com. You may want to include "staging" or "development" in your staging name, as some plugins ignore these domains when validating license keys.
  6. Choose a snapshot from one of the backups of your site, this will be used to create your staging site. If you don't select a snapshot, it will automatically use the latest version of your site.
  7. Select the verison of PHP you want to use for this staging environment from the list of available PHP versions.
  8. Click "Create Environment" to confirm your choices.
