I love DevKinsta but that button on that dashboard that says Sync \> Push to Kinsta kind of terrifies me. It would be cool if there were a site setting that disabled that feature so that it could be turned off for production sites that would break if someone used it.

Hello @ryanb Ryan đ
Thank you that you love our DevKinsta tool! đ
Iâve just double checked in DevKinsta but didnât see an option to Sync / push my local site directly to the production or Live site(s) hosted on Kinsta server (in MyKinsta account).
This `Sync -> Push to Kinsta` in DevKinsta will only be able to push the local site directly, either to the [Standard (free) Staging Environment](https://kinsta.com/help/staging-environment/) or to the [Premium (paid) Staging Environment](https://kinsta.com/help/premium-staging-environments/) on Kinsta server.
Also on our [knowledge base here](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/devkinsta/push-local-site-to-kinsta-staging/), itâs mentioned:
> When pushing changes from DevKinsta to MyKinsta, you can only push to a Standard or Premium Staging Environment; **you canât push to a live site directly from DevKinsta**. Once youâve pushed your changes from DevKinsta to a staging environment, you can then [push from staging to live](https://kinsta.com/help/push-staging-live/) in MyKinsta.
Hopefully this answers your concern, and I think, the _feature_ is already there as someone wonât be able to push the local site from DevKinsta directly to the production / live sites ? đ
Please let us know if you have any other concerns about it.
Cheers,
Agus

Oh OK, thatâs good if it works that way. I guess itâs the wording that confused me. I imported our site into devkinsta from the live site and I see this when viewing it in the devkinsta dashboard.
Since I imported from the live site I assumed âPush to Kinstaâ would push to the live site.
It is a bit confusing then if after importing from the live site âPush to Kinstaâ pushes to the staging site. Would âPull from Kinstaâ pull from the live site or the staging site after importing from the live site?
I havenât actually tried this myself because I didnât want to risk overwriting the live site. But if the button pushes to staging maybe it should say âPush to Stagingâ instead of âPush to Kinstaâ to be more explicit?

Thank you for your reply Ryan (@ryanb).

Iâm sorry for the confusion there. With the â **Pull from Kinsta** â option, you can select the environment (Live, Free/Standard Staging, or Premium Staging) you want to pull from your [MyKinsta account](https://my.kinsta.com/login/?lang=en) (as shown on our KB article here [DevKinsta - Kinsta Integration - KinstaÂŽ Docs](https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/devkinsta/pull-a-site-from-kinsta/) )
NOTE:
If you havenât created Staging environments of that site in question (either [free/standard](https://kinsta.com/help/staging-environment/) or [premium](https://kinsta.com/help/premium-staging-environments/)), then you would see only its Live site on the list, when you want to pull the site from your MyKinsta account to DevKinsta.
> I havenât actually tried this myself because I didnât want to risk overwriting the live site. But if the button pushes to staging maybe it should say âPush to Stagingâ instead of âPush to Kinstaâ to be more explicit?
Sure, please take your time to try that `Sync -> Push to Kinsta` tool ( this wonât affect/change your Live site at all đ ).
If you have created the Staging environment(s) of your site, you should be able to see it/them and choose from the list, otherwise you can click the " `+ Create new environment `" button on that â_Push changes to Kinsta_â page (which will open a web browser and will take you to your MyKinsta control panel, and from there you can create/add Staging enviroment for your site in question).
About the wording suggestion ( â **Push to Staging** â instead of â **Push to Kinsta** â ), we will suggest it as a feature request to our internal team to improve things based on your feedback.
Thank you for input and suggestion Ryan!
Cheers,
Agus
