Create from Snapshot

<aside>

Here, you have the option to specify a Scratch Org Snapshot to create your Pool Orgs from. If you don’t select one, your Pool Orgs will be created and refreshed from your main branch.

</aside>

Email address for the admin user of the Orgs created by the Pool

<aside>

This email address is where all information about your Scratch Orgs will be sent, such as error messages. You can easily change this to a different email address - just type a new one in and click “Save” down at the bottom of the window.

</aside>

Default duration (lifetime) of Scratch Orgs created by the Pool

<aside>

This is the default length of time (in days) that your Scratch Orgs will exist before they expire.

</aside>

Pool size

<aside>

This is the number of Scratch Orgs that will be in your Pool.

</aside>

<aside> <img src="/icons/flash_yellow.svg" alt="/icons/flash_yellow.svg" width="40px" /> Increasing this number will automatically start spinning up the specified number of Scratch Orgs into your project’s Org Pool.

</aside>

<aside>

We recommend to set this to the approximate number of Scratch Orgs that your team will use concurrently. Two Pool orgs for each of your team members is a good rule of thumb, but you can always set this to more or fewer depending on the needs of your team.

</aside>

Setting up a pool of Sandboxes

If you’re working with a Sandbox project, you’ll see the following options:
