Push staging changes to live

When you are happy with your staging site, push-to-live copies it over your production site in one guided step.

Steps

  1. On the Staging tab, choose Push to live.
  2. Review the confirmation. By default Backvera takes a safety backup of your live site first – you can skip it, but keeping it is recommended.
  3. Confirm to start, then watch progress on the push page.

What happens during a push

A push runs as one connected operation: Backvera first captures your current staging site into a snapshot (saved to your site’s History and marked with a Stage label), then takes the optional safety backup of your live site, and finally overwrites live with that capture.

Because a safety backup is taken first (unless you skip it), you can always roll your live site back if the pushed changes are not what you expected.

A push runs in the background, so you can leave the page and follow it in the Activity feed – it appears there as a single Push to live task.
