# Loading different environments

{% hint style="info" %}
When trying to load any environment, make sure you have deployed your flow to that environment!&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Setting the environment using formsortEnv

The URL parameter `formsortEnv` is special and will specify which environment a flow loads. You can use this to load a staging environment, or any of the other [environments](/publishing-and-deployment/environments.md) you may have created.&#x20;

For example, to load a flow that has been pushed to staging, the URL required will look like the below:&#x20;

```
https://<your-flow>.formsort.app/flow/<flow-label>/variant/main?formsortEnv=staging
```
