How Managed Updates Work
Managed Updates incorporates leading technology and the experience of Pantheon’s professional services team in robustly managing CMS updates for companies of all sizes. The multistep process includes redundant testing and a full backup before updates are pushed live:
- Automatically detect updates for Drupal and WordPress core and modules/plugins
- Updates are staged in Multidev environments to safely test them prior to applying them to your sites
- Uncover impacts to the user experience through the use of visual regression testing, fine-tuned for WordPress and Drupal
Back up a live environment, deploy tested updates, and notify your team of changes

- Potential downtime or errors for your visitors/customers
- Key team member time wasted on website maintenance and operations
- Unknown number and state of security patches resulting in vulnerabilities
- Emergency fixes to roll-back untested, problematic updates
With Managed Updates
- Peace of mind that everything is up to date
- Confidence that site functions as expected
- More time for your team to focus on high-value work
- Enhanced security with the latest core CMS and plugin updates
- Minimal downtime with prompt management of all critical updates
