Why this matters
A development folder can contain secrets and backups that do not belong in the public root.
Step by step
- Identify the deployable build or application files with the developer rather than selecting the entire project folder.
- Exclude private credentials, local configuration, repository metadata and backup archives according to the application’s deployment procedure.
- Check the public pages and confirm sensitive resources are not accessible by direct web requests.
Keep the result of the final check and any unresolved question with your project records.
Availability depends on the product, permissions and management agreement. Use the existing support conversation for the same issue.
