Site Maintenance

Site Maintenance: You can put your entire site in maintenance mode if you are doing upgrades.

The site will display a Offline Message, set in the Offline Message field, unless the Theme has a custom Maintenance Layout or Maintenance View.

Offline Message: The message to show users once the site is in maintenance mode, HTML is ok.

If you are logged in, with the MAINTENANCE_MODE_VIEWER permission, you will be able to view the site even when the site is in Maintenance Mode. When the site is in Maintenance Mode, you will see a Red Maintenance banner, to remind you the site is in Maintenance for other users.
