There's no need to upload web.config file as there is one that you can access through the Azure interface.

Open the settings pane for your App Service and click App Service Editor (Preview) in the Development Tools section towards the bottom of the left hand menu.

Click Go to open the Editor in a new tab. You will see the web.config file on the left. Click it to edit in the main pane.

One word of warning - this editor autosaves as you type! I'm sure we'd all do this anyway but I'd recommend preparing your code in an editor and pasting it in.

I was able to add a section without having to manually restart the App Service.
