Abstract
The method manages customization upgrades to a production website while keeping it accessible. The website currently utilizes a first version of a software plugin. A user requests copying a second version of the plugin from another website to production, which is then authorized. Copying the plugin makes both versions simultaneously operational for distinct groups of users. Users request a webpage that utilizes the plugin, and receive the webpage customized by the first or second version of the plugin depending on whether they are preview-mode users. A request to designate the second version of the plugin as the live version is submitted, and authorization to implement the request is received. After designating the second version of the plugin as the live version, all subsequent requests for the webpage result in receiving the webpage customized by the second version of the plugin regardless of whether the users are designated as preview-mode users.
