The “Staging Area” of your site is an environment that does not visible to your live customers or visitors. Initially, it is a clone of your site. You can make changes in the staging area, test them, and once you are ready to go live, you can copy all the changes from the staging area to the production site with a single click.

To access the staging site, you get a “temporary domain.” A staging area is a complete application/site with all the features of an individual application. It means that you can change anything, but it will not affect your production or main site. If you mess up, you can delete the staging area and create a new one.

If you want to push updates from the staging area to a production site, you can do it with a single click on the “Sync” button. Follow the steps given below to learn how to use the staging area.
