Demo Mode

Demo Mode shows the full PatchPilot365 console running on fictional sample data — tenants, devices, vulnerabilities, jobs — with no real Microsoft 365 tenant connected. Sign-in is bypassed with a demo engineer, so it’s the fastest way to click through every page and get a feel for the navigation before you connect anything real.

How to enable it

The easiest way is from an already-running instance (see Azure Deployment): on the Pairing screen, click Enable Demo Mode instead of running the pairing script.

What’s real and what isn’t

Everything you see is fictional. Nothing you click sends a request anywhere outside the instance, and the demo bypass cannot be tricked into activating on a production instance — that’s gated strictly on the DEMO_MODE environment variable, and a real deployment always runs with DEMO_MODE=false.

Enabling Demo Mode is one-way, the same as pairing itself — there’s no in-app way to switch back to an unpaired state afterward.
