Test Sites: Creating a Test Site

Publish a version of your site (a test site) to a percentage of your site visitors. This is a great way to test new features on your site or get feedback on changes you have made before publishing to 100% of visitors.

Step 1 | Create your test site

Go to your site's editor to create a test site based on your most recent edits.

Note:

You can only create a test site after your site has been published at least once.
