8. Why isolate button is not available in production system?

When system is migrated from production system to test system then only isolation happens.
when test system is made as a copy of production, in order to prevent the URLs in communication arrangement to still point to production
it is marked as isolated.

so isolate/deisolate buttons are there only in test tenants. In prod system isolate will not be listed.

No, this requirement is not possible
