Getting what you built in front of people, and getting back to an earlier version.
Building changes a preview only your team can reach. Everything in this section is about the separate, deliberate act of putting something in front of somebody else.
Versions is what gets saved, and it happens without you. Environments is what preview, test and live actually are. Deploying is how a version moves between them, and Going back is what to do when that turns out to have been a mistake.
- VersionsEvery build is kept, named after what was asked for, and can be compared and restored.
- EnvironmentsPreview, test and live — what each one is, who can reach it, and why their data is separate.
- DeployingPutting a version into test or live, what happens while it deploys, and what happens if it fails.
- Going backRestoring an earlier version when a change turned out to be wrong.
