Orchestra Now Supports Application Editing

We are pleased to announce that Orchestra PHP Cloud now allows you to edit a running application.

With this new feature, you can now update your application name, domain, index file, and repository information. This includes switching from Subversion to Git and vice-versa.

All changes are made with zero downtime, and in a minimal amount of time (this will be dictated by the size of your repository and DNS changes).

Along with this change, we have made some changes to your app interface. To accommodate the extra functionality we have condensed all application actions into a popover menu, which you can see below:

With these new changes, you can now change most of your application settings without the need to relaunch your applications.

Read more about updating your applications in our docs.
