title: Change or Open Your Default Org
---

Salesforce Extensions for VS Code runs commands against the org that you’ve set as your default org for development. In the [package development model](package/development-model), your default org is typically a scratch org. In the [org development model](org-development-model), it’s typically a sandbox, a Developer Edition (DE) org, or a Trailhead Playground.

To set or change the org that you’re developing against, in the VS Code footer, click the org’s name or the briefcase icon ({% octicon briefcase %}). Then, select a different org, or choose **SFDX: Set a Default Org** to authorize a new org. Or, open the command palette and run **SFDX: Authorize an Org** or **SFDX: Create a Default Scratch Org**.

To open your default org so that you can test your changes or use declarative tools, click the browser icon ({% octicon browser %}) in the footer. Or, open the command palette and run **SFDX: Open Default Org**.
