AWS workspaces: Update WorkSpaces maintenance mode enable/disable UI steps

Service: workspaces · 2026-09-29 · Documentation low

File: workspaces/latest/adminguide/workspace-maintenance.md

Summary

Rewrites the procedure for enabling or disabling maintenance mode for AutoStop WorkSpaces to match the current console UI (directory details page, Maintenance mode section with Edit, Enable maintenance mode check box, Save), and clarifies that maintenance mode applies only to AutoStop WorkSpaces.

Security assessment

The diff only updates console navigation labels and wording for the maintenance mode setting; it documents no vulnerability, credential handling, encryption, or access control change, so it is a non-security documentation edit.

Evidence

+  5. To enable automatic updates, select the **Enable maintenance mode** check box. To disable automatic updates, clear the check box.
