New Feature: Staged Restore
We have just launched a powerful new feature that gives you safe, controlled access to archived app data without impacting your live production environment.
Staged Restore allows you to create a full staged version of your app using archived data so you can review, download, and verify exactly what you need with zero risk to production.
What Staged Restore Does
- Creates a staged copy of archived app data
- Keeps your live production app completely unchanged
- Provides a fully functional app experience with all features available
How It Works
- Start a Staged Restore from your app settings
- The system prepares the staged version in the background
- This process may take a few minutes
- You will receive an email when the restore starts and when it is ready
Once It Is Ready
- The staged restore remains available but inactive
- You choose exactly when to activate it
- You can activate or deactivate it at any time with a single click
While the Staged Restore Is Active
- Browse, export, and download data freely
- Any changes apply only to the staged restore
- Your live production app is never affected
Stopping and Returning to Live
- You can deactivate the staged restore at any time
- Returning to your live production environment is instant
- No data is overwritten
- Nothing carries over unless you explicitly export it
Why This Matters
- No pressure from timers
- Full control over access
- Safe recovery without risk
- Ideal for audits, investigations, exports, and peace of mind
Staged Restore is currently available starting this week on Elite level plans and higher.
