I need some guidance on Read-only mode SaaS deployment

2025/11/21 9:20 AM

Sorry for this newbie question. I know the read-only mode just released recently.

I would like some guidance about this. Lets say I already enable the Read-only mode. How can I disable it after the update?

Do I need to upload a new zip file again which the read-only mode is disable?

The feature is covered in the documentation.

You don't, you only enable read-only mode on the clone of the live application, not the live application itself.

Do I need to upload a new zip file again which the read-only mode is disable?

No, the updates that are being deployed replace the live application while traffic is routed to the read-only clone. Once the update is complete you can route traffic back to the live application and delete the clone.


I realize your questions are more about the deployment side of things, but read-only mode is implemented in the Kentico Community Portal if you want to see how the visitor experience is updated to handle read-only mode.
