Alcatraz

Alcatraz is a tool for site administrators and developers who need to test changes without affecting a live website. It creates an isolated staging area where modifications are applied, reviewed, and only then merged into production. This prevents broken layouts, plugin conflicts, or content errors from reaching visitors.

• Staging area isolation: All changes are confined to a separate environment, ensuring the live site remains untouched until you approve the updates.
• One-click deployment: After testing, merge approved changes to the live site with a single action, reducing manual effort and risk.
• Rollback support: If a merged change causes issues, revert to the previous state quickly without data loss.
• Role-based access: Control which users can view or modify the staging area, keeping sensitive changes restricted to authorized team members.
• Compatibility with caching plugins: Works alongside common caching solutions to avoid conflicts during the staging process.
