Is there a way to pause automatic deployments to an environment?

I want to be able to pause all automatic deployments to our staging server during testing (at the moment all valid builds are deployed straight to testing). This is for when we're running a testing cycle and don't want dev happening on a future release to be deployed during testing.

I've searched and looked around but haven't been able to find anything on it.

   Please check https://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/#conditional-deployment. If "dev happening on a future release" is using another branch, this should be very straightforward. Otherwise you might need to introduce some special environment variable to use as a deployment condition.

   Thanks Ilya. I think I should set it so only develop and release branches are deployed to staging, which will solve my issue.

   Is there a way that I can specify multiple branches? Ideally I want to specify 'develop' and 'release/*' so commits to develop or any release branch (we append them with the release number).

   I've tried a few things but to no avail.
