A draft site is a full site within your account that is not published (viewable) live on the web. Draft sites are handy when building a new site, exploring a new layout for existing sites, or creating sites for your customers.
When on a paid subscription you have the ability to create as many draft sites as you would like within your account. Free account users will only have access to a single draft site.
Add a New Draft Site
- Head to your sites dashboard.
- In the upper right corner click "Create a New Site".
- This will allow you to build up a new site that will be in a draft state.
View All Draft Sites
- Head to your sites dashboard.
- In the middle of the sites dashboard you will see three sorting options. All, Draft, Published.
- View your Draft sites by clicking Draft.
Publish a Draft Site
When you are ready to attach a custom domain and share your site, you can publish it from a draft state.
- Head to your sites dashboard.
- Select the site you would like to publish.
- When in the site dashboard, click "Publish Site" in the upper right corner of the page.
- You can then add an additional site licence to your subscription.
- Once added, your site will be published and allow you to attach a custom domain.
Unpublish a Draft Site
- Head to your sites dashboard.
- Select the site you would like to unpublish.
- Click Site Settings and head to the Domain setup and SSL section.
- Click "Unpublish" to un-publish the site.
When a site is unpublished it will not longer be visible on the web under the .pagecloud.com placeholder domain or a custom domain.
Transfer Draft Sites to Another Account
When making a Draft site for a customer, you may want to transfer that site into their account.
You will need to reach out to support@pagecloud.com or contact us via the in-app chat to move the site between accounts.
The support team will need to know the following information:
- Name of site you wanted to move.
- The email address of the account you'd like to move it to.
Draft sites require the account have at least one published site. We cannot transfer a draft site to another user if their account has not be activated on a subscription.
