Deployment Pipeline and the file locks

As we are deploying to the already existing applications our files get locked.

How should we add the appofline file so the deployments can use that file and coordinate with VSTS pipeline ?

VSTS Pipeline

The Task App Offline option of Azure App Service Deploy task will take the app service offline, since it doesn’t work for you, you can stop or restart azure web app through Stop-AzureRMWebApp/Restart-AzureRmWebApp powershell through Azure PowerShell task or use "Azure App Service Manage" task and then deploy package through Azure App Service Deploy task.
