Set up your development workflow

The most usual initial setup is to create your Staging environment, pull a copy from the production, and start deploying files. You can do it either via SFTP, or by integrating your WordPress site with a repository.

1. Initialize your Staging environment.
2. Pull a copy from the production environment to staging.
3. Integrate a repository with your WordPress site.
4. Access your files via SFTP

Where to go next

• Initialize your staging environment before testing changes away from production.
