Laravel CMS Upgrade Planning

Make maintenance visible before it surprises you

This page helps maintainers review package and CMS changes before they affect production.

Capell treats upgrades and maintenance as part of the CMS, not as a private deployment ritual.

Package manifests, migration history, dry-run output, health checks, upgrade logs, retry state, and rollback notes stay visible for the next maintainer.

A useful upgrade page should answer practical questions before production changes: which packages changed, which migrations will run, which commands were required, which public URLs or caches may be affected, what failed previously, and how to roll back or retry safely.

This is especially important for package-led CMS work. A package update can add fields, alter admin screens, change public rendering, introduce queued jobs, or touch schema. The site should make those effects reviewable instead of burying them in a release note someone may never read.

• Return to operations for the wider maintenance model.
• Review package install impact before adding new capability.
• Read Lockdown for incident controls.
