# Manage your three sites

*My Website*

You can keep **three sites** at once. The counter beside **My sites** shows where you
are — **(2/3)**, for example. Exactly one can be public; the rest are private drafts.

## What the three are for

![The My sites list](https://iaktsmonietvbikzietg.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/site-assets/kb/mw-hub.png "The counter shows how many of your three slots are used."){size=md}

Most people use one and stop. The others are useful for:

- Building a **seasonal or campaign version** while your normal site stays up.
- Trying a **different design** without touching what clients currently see.
- Keeping a **known-good copy** before a big rewrite.

Because publishing swaps instantly, you can prepare a replacement completely, then
switch over in one click.

## Swap which one is public

Click **Publish** on the draft you want. It goes live and the previous one drops to
Draft in the same moment — *"Only one site is live at a time — publishing another
swaps it in."*

Nothing is lost in a swap. The site that went offline keeps every page exactly as it
was, ready to publish again.

## Rename a site

Click the **pencil** next to its name. This is only your own label in this list —
visitors never see it, and it has no effect on your web address or on anything on the
page.

## Preview any of them

The **eye icon** opens a private preview of that site's current draft, live or not.
It always shows the latest version and needs no sign-in, so it's an easy way to get a
second opinion before publishing.

## You can't delete a site — plan around it

There's no delete button, and no way to free a slot yourself. **Once you're at 3/3 the
New site button disappears**, with no message explaining why.

So:

- Don't create a site to "have a look at" a starter — use the **Live demo** link on
  the starter card instead.
- Reuse a draft you already have rather than cloning a fresh one.
- If you're stuck at three and need a clean slate, your community admin can clear one
  for you.

## Taking everything offline

**Take offline** on your live site removes your public presence entirely — the address
stops answering. Your sites all stay intact as drafts.

If your community switches the My Website feature off while you have a live site, the
page disappears from your sidebar **but your site stays public**, and you lose the
button that would have taken it down. If you need it gone in that situation, ask your
community admin.
