GitLab Pages Features Review Apps and Multiple Website Deployment

GitLab Pages now offers Parallel Deployments, allowing users to preview changes and manage multiple environments for their websites. This feature provides flexibility to experiment with new designs or features without impacting the current site.

How to Add Review Apps to Your GitLab Pages Project

1. Enable the Parallel Deployments feature in your project settings.
2. Use job variables and rules in your CI/CD pipeline to create review apps for each merge request dynamically.
3. Configure the deployment to create a path for each merge request and provide a link to the review app on the merge request page.

How to Deploy Documentation for Different Versions of Your Product

1. Utilize the Parallel Deployments feature to manage documentation for multiple versions of your software.
2. Use job variables and branch names to trigger deployments for specific versions, keeping the documentation up to date on different paths of your website.

Whether you're working on a small project or maintaining multiple versions of a larger site, GitLab's Parallel Deployments feature enhances workflow efficiency and provides a smoother deployment process.
