The **Play with sample data** is one of the quick action tile options available in the Overview module on the Home (root) box level.

> ℹ️ This option creates a new box with Jira data that is stored only in BigPicture. This way, you can poke around the app without worrying about affecting any real data on your Jira instance.

## Create a box with sample data

1. Navigate to the Home box and open it in the Overview module, Hierarchy mode.
2. Open the top panel. If you cannot see the panel, click the arrow at the top of your box hierarchy to open it.
