How to manage the IIS Website via the release pipeline?

Here we can see the physical path of our website is changed to the path we gave in the field description. So, the files present on that folder path will be now the root files of our website which are the latest artifacts which just been deployed to the folder.

This is how we can configure the IIS Website in a job provided in the CD(Release) pipeline.
