Solved Can I test a different template for my website?

Can I test a different template for my website?
Will it effect my page?
Is there a way to test it without making it live?

Hi Basil,

You can preview new website templates with the “Preview Template” option. Selecting the green “Change Template” button to play around with the design editor will affect your page.

This article has a nice overview of how to manage website templates. (See step 4.)

Please note changing website templates may remove custom content you’ve created on your existing website.

@basil-kezios - I created a second website with a different name to play with. When finished, I’ll make my custom domain name point to that one instead and then archive the old one.

@anne-kohn
Thank you @Anne-Kohn and @Jenny-Oest.
Both suggestions are great.
What I would like to do, since there is a lot of content on my original page, is make a duplicate with a different name - as @Jenny-Oest suggested, and make the changes on that site until it becomes usable and then make it live.
I don’t see where I can do that on this end.
