When a staging site is created from a live site the data source is named as "Staging". 

The Affino (staging) instance does the following after it boots up and finds the word "Staging" in the data source name:

1.- Set "Suspend Automation" to On

Having that setting as "On" will allow only certain scheduled tasks to run.

You can check the Suspend Automation setting on the System Settings screen.

To see what scheduled tasks are allowed to run or not, check the Scheduled Tasks screen (see the "Task Allowed" column).

2.- Set "SEO Active" to Off

This is done for all zones. You can check that setting on the SEO panel on the Zone detail screen.

3.- Clear all values from the Payment Gateways settings

Affino removes the Publishable Key, Secret Key, Webhook Signing Secret and Use Renewal Catalogue Item Price And Tax values from the payment gateway.

4.- Disable Message Campaigns

All message campaigns are set to Non Live.
