# Switching from TRACES Acceptance to TRACES Production

By default, TradeAware is connected to the **TRACES Acceptance** environment (testing). This lets you create and submit test DDS without legal implications.

When you are ready to submit **legally binding** DDS, TradeAware can be switched to the **TRACES Production** environment.

### Prerequisites

* Your team has finished testing in **Acceptance** and is ready for real DDS submissions.
* You understand that **Production submissions are legally binding** and processed by EU authorities.

### How to switch to Production

Switching is currently enabled manually.

1. [**Contact Customer Support** ](https://docs.live-eo.com/tradeaware/~/revisions/TV1yYa85sAm27Hug998N/additional-resources/contact-support)**/ your Customer Success Manager** and request a switch from **Acceptance → Production**.
2. Once enabled, **all new submissions** will go to the Production TRACES endpoint.

### What changes in TradeAware

* TradeAware shows a clear banner on the **Transactions** page indicating whether you are connected to **Acceptance** or **Production**.

* When submitting to **Production**, TradeAware displays a **legal warning** and a **confirmation dialog** before the submission is sent.

### Important notes about existing transactions

To prevent accidental submission of test data into Production:

* **Draft transactions are kept** after the switch.
* Transactions that were **Submitted** or **Errored** in Acceptance are **cleared** after the switch.
* Transactions already **submitted in Acceptance cannot be submitted again in Production**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Only submit to **Production** when you are confident the DDS is final. Production submissions are legally binding.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.live-eo.com/tradeaware/using-the-tradeaware-web-app/manage-your-transactions/switching-from-traces-acceptance-to-traces-production.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
