Test Site and Exposure Question

I am having difficulty figuring out the purpose of a Test Site.

We want to create a Test Site, after linking the domain name, so that our client can test the site before it is visible to the public.

I followed the instructions online - Published my site, created a Test Site and then adjusted exposure in Release Manager to Live Site 0% & Test Site 100%. After doing this the Live Site is still visible to the public.

Am I missing something? Has anyone else had this issue?

I wanted to add that I understand I can use the “Get Feedback” option to send my client a preview of the website but it has become an issue because I have to create a new link every time I make changes, the link is a random string of letters and numbers, and it expires.

I am using Wix Editor.

Please help.

The Get Feedback link has a 2-week expiry, and updates to the latest edits made on a site.

I haven’t used test sites for a while, but I’d probably leave it at 0% exposure, and share the link (it’ll likely have a param after the domain). The alternative is if the site isn’t a live site, you can publish as normal and share that link (ensuring any SEO settings are adjusted to your needs if the site isn’t ready)
