app_offline.htm doesn't bring the site down

I have an Umbraco website on my Azure app service and it is working fine. I want to bring the site down nicely to do some maintenance so I've added created an "app_offline.htm" file and when I put it on the root of my website locally (on my machine IIS 10, windows 10) it immediately shut downs the website.

But when I copy the file to the root directory of my website on app service (D:\home\site\wwwroot> using KUDU) it doesn't do anything. What should I do?

The answer for the next person who faces this problem

Ok, I've restarted my app service and it made the app_offline work fine as evilSnobu mentioned in the comment.

Also, recycling the app should work. I've changed my webconfig (added one space somewhere ) and the app_offline started to do its job! :)
