Prepare the release

From your local project directory, target an existing workspace:
With incremental deployment, --sync-only prepares a managed release and leaves it ready for explicit activation. It does not merely copy files over the running app. Wait for preparation to finish and identify the ready release ID.

Review preparation logs

Check dependency installation, build output, and the intended application set. A ready release has not yet passed the running service’s activation health check.

Activate and verify

Activation briefly restarts affected applications and checks them. Verify the returned release state and each app’s health. Do not use a failed or already superseded release as though it were ready; inspect history and stage again if necessary. To restore a retained release after an unsuccessful change, follow app rollback. Image deployment uses different staging semantics; do not combine incremental staging with --bluegreen, --promote, --build-only, or --reimage.
