Is there a 'maintenance mode' I can turn on while I update the content of my website ?

Something simple like a toggle, similar to what other CMS platforms offer.

Hello @waylonpalmerwebsite and welcome to the community!

Yes! You can activate as such: https://www.datocms.com/docs/scripting-migrations/apply-migrations-to-primary-environment#step-1-turn-on-maintenance-mode-to-prevent-changes-to-the-primary-environment

When active, all content and schema changes are blocked both on the Dashboard and on the APIs.
