Building New SmugMug site "offline" while my old/Legacy site is still active?

Michelle S.

I'm REALLY looking forward to updating to the New SmugMug!!

I couldn't find whether this has been asked, so my apologies if I wasn't looking in the right spots...

:dunno
Is there any way to build my New SmugMug site "offline" while my old/Legacy site is kept active -- so the time spent on my attempts-to-transition/build my New SmugMug site won't interfere with visitors to my old/Legacy website?

For now, my site is http://www.michellesphotog.com (aka http://michellesphotog.smugmug.com)
(I'll be using one of the tutorials I did find here to change my custom url/domain.)

Thank you!

Once you migrate you can see both new and legacy smug when you are logged in but your viewers will only see legacy smug. When you are happy with your new site you will click unveil. At that point only your new site will be available (to both you and your viewers).

Thank you, Denise! I look forward to starting my migration as soon as I can (when I went to the begin-migration-now link on that page (smugmug.com/migration) I got the message that SmugMug's in a "holding pattern" until the 19th).
