4.2 How to Manage a Live Deployment

Manage a live deployment after setup, including viewer links, operator password rotation, surtitle updates, duration changes, and shutdown.

Page name: Deployment Cockpit

Use it for: links, QR access, live subtitle updates, password rotation, and end-of-show admin.

Open the right deployment

Deployment Cockpit is the post-deploy page for one live show.

  1. Deploy the show first.
  2. Open the deployment management action for that project.
  3. SurtitleLive opens Deployment Cockpit.

If no deployment exists

The page does not fake a live state.

  • You will see No deployment found yet.
  • Use Go to deployment wizard to return to setup.

Read the main sections

  • Refresh snapshot sits near the top of Deployment Cockpit and reloads the live status.
  • Audience & Operator links holds Viewer (audience) and ASM Console (operator).
  • Performance Link ID identifies the current shared-link set.
  • Update Live Subtitles reloads the latest saved editor package.
  • Rotate ASM password changes operator access in the lower danger-zone section.
