To go one step further, we can specify a Route Map to get GitLab to show us "View on [environment URL]" buttons to go directly from a file to that file's representation on the deployed website. It will be exposed in a few places:

You can specify a Route Map to get GitLab to show "View on <environment URL>"
|
||||
buttons to go directly from a file to that file's representation on the
|
||||
[deployed website via Review Apps](review_apps/index.md).
|
||||
|
||||
To get this to work, you need to tell GitLab how the paths of files in your repository map to paths of pages on your website, using a Route Map.
|
||||
|
||||
A Route Map is a file inside the repository at `.gitlab/route-map.yml`, which contains a YAML array that maps `source` paths (in the repository) to `public` paths (on the website).

||||

||||
This is an example of a route map for [Middleman](https://middlemanapp.com) static websites like [http://about.gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com):

Once you have the route mapping set up, it will be exposed in a few places:
|
||||
|
||||
- In the merge request widget. The **View app** button will take you to the
|
||||
environment URL you have set up in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. The dropdown will render
|
||||
the first 5 matched items from the route map, but you can filter them if more
|
||||
than 5 are available.

We now have a full development cycle, where our app is tested, built, deployed

as a Review app, deployed to a staging server once the merge request is merged,

and finally manually deployed to the production server. What we just described
