There needs to be a way for a designer to work on templates for a site and then transfer those templates (pages, images, styles, etc.) to the live site without interrupting the business processes of the live site. (online forms, CRM, etc.)

Creating a duplicate of the site as a new instance, is great for testing and making sure the designer can work without fear of blowing something up on the live site, but there needs to be a better way to merge the new content, images templates, etc. into the currently live site instead of deactivating the live site - missing business communications, orders, registrations, etc. while the new replacement site is moved into place, reconnected and made live.

*** and no, I’m not talking about a “Release Candidate” ( https://support.wix.com/en/article/creating-a-release-candidate that is a completely different topic.

Second this. This is what’s holding me back from making the switch to development with Wix rather than Wordpress which obviously has all of this.

is there any updates on this? workflows how to do this? i am hired to redesign a website - but i dont want to work on the live site. how to do this - is there a step by step tutorial somewhere?

they pay for a premium. i was added as a collaborator on it. im new to wix, would prefer a wordpress too, but thats not an option.

please help, dont want to mess around with the current design than rather start from scratch. thanks!
