The **Play with sample data** is one of the quick action tile options available in the Overview module at 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 **Quick actions** panel. If you cannot see the panel, click the arrow at the top of your box hierarchy to open it.
