Data & Integrations · Full walkthrough
Give your existing work a new home.
Start from your website and channel addresses, build a private preview and review what was brought across.
Before you start
Use a website and channel sources you own or manage. Gather their addresses and decide on the language for the new site. An imported preview still needs a careful review against the original site before activation.
Choose how to start

Open Add New Site. Start from an existing website and channels, or choose the manual website option when you want to build from scratch.
An existing website URL describes the site to bring across. Podcast or social channel fields describe content sources; keep those separate.
A manual site asks for a Website Name and lets you choose a starting layout. Use the option that matches the work you already have.
Add sources and language

Enter the website address and supported channel addresses in their own fields. Choose Site Language, review the detected sources and choose Build my site when ready.
Check addresses for redirects and similar names. Your source should be the intended site or channel, not a screenshot or a search-results page.
Read the import/activation terms displayed for your account. A private preview and turning a site on are separate stages.
Review the private preview

Follow the build status and open the preview when ready. Compare the original and imported site: pages, navigation, order, images, text and important links.
Check for duplicated or empty blocks and verify that images match the relevant content. Do not accept a generic-looking page simply because the build completed.
Latest content can be available while older material continues importing. Review the build and channel processing states separately.
Finish setup before turning it on

Edit the preview, verify forms and destinations, and choose the hosting/domain setup. Turn the website on only after the review and the account's activation terms are clear.
Check the narrow-width layout, social links and key visitor actions. Keep the site's main purpose easy to recognize.
A private preview does not mean the custom domain is configured. Finish the displayed DNS steps when using your own domain.
Review checklist
- Website and channel addresses are correct.
- Imported pages, menus and images match the source.
- Forms and important links work in the preview.
- Hosting and activation terms were reviewed.
If you get stuck
The preview looks unlike my source
Compare specific pages and images, fix the draft and review it again before activation.
Older content is missing
Review channel import progress and exclusions; historical processing may continue after the site preview is ready.
