Environment Hub - Top 5 Tips 1. Use trialforce to create orgs from the master demo org for your developers 2. Use the PDE Org option, that is only available in the Environment Hub a. It never expires b. It has the ability to clone copies of both the configuration and managed package with Trialforce c. It provides more licenses and fewer limits than a publicly available DE Org 3. Use the description field to clearly identify and differentiate your organisation’s purpose 4. Use the expiration date field in the list views 5. Try to use only one Environment Hub to manage all your orgs. Using multiple hubs defeats the purpose
