To swap deployment slots in Azure DevOps, you can follow these steps:

Go to the Azure portal and navigate to the app service that contains the deployment slots you want to swap.
Select "Deployment slots" from the left-hand menu.
Select the source and target slots you want to swap.
Click on the "Swap" button in the top menu.
Review the details of the swap, including the DNS name changes, and click "Swap" to confirm the operation.
Wait for the swap to complete. This may take a few minutes depending on the size and complexity of your app.
Once the swap is complete, verify that the app is running correctly in the new slot.

Note: Swapping deployment slots can cause downtime, so it's important to plan accordingly and perform the swap during a maintenance window or when traffic is low.

Yes, you can swap the slots in Azure DevOps release pipeline by following these steps:

Go to your Azure DevOps project and navigate to the Release pipeline that you want to modify.
Select the stage that contains the slots you want to swap, and then click on the three dots (...) to the right of the stage name.
Click on "Configure variables" from the dropdown menu.
In the "Variables" tab, you should see variables representing your slots, such as $(Slot1) and $(Slot2). Change the values of these variables to swap the slots.

For example, if $(Slot1) is set to "Prod" and $(Slot2) is set to "PreProd", you can swap them by changing $(Slot1) to "PreProd" and $(Slot2) to "Prod".
