Deployment slots and swapping

Hi all,

So this is my first time setting up deployment slots and my first time setting up any kind of CI/CD - I'm pleased to say Azure made it nice and easy!

However, I'm just trying to understand the workflow here.

I've set it up so it auto-deploys the latest git push to the staging slot.

I then test on staging and swap over to production when I'm ready.

However, what was on production (old code) then goes over to staging.

So I then have to sync the staging slot to bring it up to date again (which feels like a redundant step?)

Am I doing this right?

Seems it would make more sense just to be able to push staging to production rather than "swap" them.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Rob
