How do I select a website in the Website Builder list?
To duplicate or delete a website in the Website Builder, you first select it in the Your websites list.
In the left menu, click Business Tools, then click the Website Builder tab. Your websites are listed under Your websites.
If you have a lot of websites, type part of the website's name in the Search websites box at the top of the list. Upper and lower case do not matter.
Tick the checkbox to the left of the website's name.
When it worked, a dark bar opens at the bottom of the screen showing 1 selected and the buttons Edit, Details, Ask customer, Share editing, Domain, View live, Copy link, Duplicate and Delete. For a website that has not been published, Domain and View live are greyed out.
How do I duplicate a website in the Website Builder?
Duplicating a website in the Website Builder makes a separate copy with all of the same pages, which you can change without touching the original. This is useful for trying out a new design or preparing a seasonal version of your website.
In Business Tools › Website Builder, tick the checkbox next to the website you want to copy.
In the bar at the bottom of the screen, click Duplicate.
The Duplicate website window opens. The Name for the copy box is filled in with the website's name followed by (copy). Change the name if you like, for example Maple Street Bakery - Holiday. The name must be at least 3 characters; a shorter name shows Name must be at least 3 characters.
Click the blue Duplicate button.
When it worked, a Website duplicated window says The copy is a draft — open it to edit and publish. Click OK. The copy appears at the top of the Your websites list with the name you chose, the status Draft and the same number of pages as the original.
How do I delete a website in the Website Builder?
Deleting a website in the Website Builder removes it from your Your websites list for good.
In Business Tools › Website Builder, tick the checkbox next to the website you want to delete.
In the bar at the bottom of the screen, click the red Delete button.
The Delete website window asks Are you sure you want to delete followed by the website's name, and says This cannot be undone. Click the red Delete button to delete the website, or click Cancel to keep it.
When it worked, the message Website deleted successfully appears at the top right and the website is no longer in the Your websites list.
Note: A deleted website cannot be brought back. If you are not sure, duplicate the website first so you still have a copy.
