How does the multi-site setup work, and what does it mean for my content?

Your CMS is configured to manage more than one website from a single installation. Each site in the CMS represents a distinct frontend website, potentially with its own domain, regional focus, or language, and its own set of enabled content.

What this means when you are editing
When you open an entry, you will see a site switcher that lets you view and edit that entry for each site it exists on. The same entry can have different content, a different enabled status, and different field values depending on which site you are editing it for. For example, an event might be fully edited and live on one site, and disabled or not yet completed on another.

How content propagates between sites
Most sections on your site are configured to share entries across all sites automatically. When you create a new entry in one of these sections, it exists across all sites by default- you can then customise or translate it per site as needed.

A smaller number of sections are configured so that entries only exist on specific sites. Content created in these sections for one site will not automatically appear on others. The sections configured this way are: Blog, Business Directory, Experiences, and Offers.

Enabling and disabling per site
An entry's enabled status is independent per site. An entry can be live on one site and disabled on another simultaneously. When changing an entry's status, make sure you are doing so in the correct site context using the site switcher.
