 * After activating WP Staging, I can ‘Open’ the WP Staging environment. Once inside
   the ‘orange banner’ world, I can’t find a ‘button’ to move back to the production
   environment. What is the best way to move back and forth between Staging and 
   Production? IONOS is our host.

 * Hi [@valcomeau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/valcomeau/),
 * You can access the “Production/Live” site as you usually do by using the site
   URL and admin URL. The staging site is a different environment from the production
   site. They are separated with a purpose to distinguish and avoid conflicts. It’s
   best to log in to the production site in a new tab and make sure you have **orange
   bar on top while making the changes**.
 * Cheers,
   Fayyaz

 * Hi there Fayyaz: Thank you kindly for your advice. I will work in the ‘orange
   bar’ environment’ and use it as a standalone sandbox.
