Web dashboard
Web dashboard
After Install, the dashboard is served from your API domain (e.g. https://updates.example.com/). Sign in with GitHub or Bitbucket OAuth, the same identity model as cmpatch login.
On the local evaluation stack, open http://localhost:8080 and sign in as local-admin@example.com (prefilled, one click). Same UI; auth is local-only.
Use the dashboard to browse teams, apps, and deployments; publish releases without memorizing CLI flags; and manage rollouts, promotion, and rollback from the UI.
The dashboard complements the CLI; it does not replace it. Some workflows (CI, scripting, cmpatch doctor) are CLI-only. Publishing can start in either place.
Navigation
After sign-in you land in your team's workspace:
| Area | What you do there |
|---|---|
| Apps | Create and rename apps; toggle code-signing requirements |
| Deployments | Staging and Production channels per app; copy deployment keys and SDK URLs |
| Deployment detail | Release history (including release notes), New release, deployment-level rollback |
| Release detail | Per-release metrics, status, and lifecycle actions |
| Metrics | Drill from apps → deployments → deployment metrics |
| Members | Invite teammates and manage roles |
| API tokens | Create and revoke cm_pat_… tokens for CI |
On a deployment detail page, expand the SDK configuration panel to copy CodemagicPatchDeploymentKey, CodemagicPatchApiUrl, and CodemagicPatchDownloadBaseUrl together. Those match the values you embed in the app; see Native setup.
Publishing a release
On a deployment detail page, click New release. You can choose how to publish:
Via CLI (command builder)
Builds a ready-to-run cmpatch release-react command from form fields:
- Platform (iOS / Android)
- Rollout percentage
- Target binary version
- Release notes
- Mandatory flag
- Code-signing private key path (when required by the app)
Copy the command and run it from your React Native project root or paste it into a CI job. The dashboard does not run the build for you; it generates the exact invocation with your server URL, app, and deployment filled in.
Bundle upload
Upload a pre-built .cmpatch artifact (from cmpatch bundle) directly in the browser:
- Select or drop the
.cmpatchfile - Set rollout, target binary version, release notes, and mandatory if needed
- Submit; the server queues the release worker job
Use this when CI already produced the bundle, or you built offline and only need to publish.
Managing existing releases
From release detail or the deployment release table, open actions on a release:
| Action | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Edit metadata | Change release notes, target binary version, mandatory flag |
| Rollout | Adjust rollout percentage on an active release |
| Promote | Copy a release to another deployment (e.g. Staging → Production) |
| Disable / Enable | Stop or resume serving a release |
| Rollback | Revert the deployment to the previous release |
Deployment-level rollback is also available from the deployment header when you need to revert without picking a specific row.
These map to cmpatch release patch, release promote, release enable/release disable, and release rollback, see Production control.
Metrics
Open Metrics in the sidebar to browse rollups by app, then by deployment. The deployment detail and release pages also surface status (uploaded, processing, published, failed, disabled) and SDK-reported counters. For CLI equivalents, see Analytics and metrics.
API tokens
Under API tokens, create personal access tokens for CI and automation. Tokens use the cm_pat_… prefix and are shown once at creation. See Security and access.
When to use the dashboard vs CLI
| Prefer the dashboard | Prefer the CLI |
|---|---|
Copy a release-react command with the right flags | Run releases from CI/CD |
Upload a .cmpatch without a terminal | Script bulk or repeated operations |
| Promote, roll out, or roll back with confirmation dialogs | cmpatch doctor, inspect --wait, JSON output |
| Browse release history and keys with the team | Air-gapped or SSH-only environments |
For the Staging → Production workflow, see Releasing updates.
