    I'm not sure how clicking that link can do more than one thing at different times?

    Some notes:
    - While you're customizing, to complete and test some edits you've made, do Done and Publish. Ignore the preview option as it can cause problems in what you see and when you see it. Publish is private to you only before you unveil. After you unveil, Publish is to the public.
    - In new SM, you need to set up menus and navbars using the content blocks, which you drag into place where you want them.

    So, where is the link you reference? On which part of your site and what content block is it from?

    Your site is still in Preview mode which means logged out visitors will be unable to use this New SmugMug link and are therefore sent to your Legacy SmugMug homepage.
    On Legacy SmugMug and therefore for visitors, the link to your Projects category is still the same link you've set up in your navigation bar on Legacy SmugMug:
    http://www.digital-finger.com/Projects

    In addition, New SmugMug links would only work for you if you're currently viewing the New SmugMug in your browser. If you're on Legacy right now, the link would not work.

    For New SmugMug links to work for visitors, you'd need to first unveil your New SmugMug site. Just note that unveiling your site would completely make your New SmugMug site live and your Legacy SmugMug site would cease to exist. There's also not a way for you to revert to Legacy SmugMug once you've unveiled. For additional details on using New and Legacy SmugMug site by side and about unveiling your New SmugMug, check out this page.

    Is that a gallery in legacy? In legacy it looks like a link to a category. If a gallery, in legacy go to the
    gallery and get the link. You can still use that link in NewSmug.

    If it's a new gallery added in NewSmug find it in the category in legacy.

    If you are logged in, it would take you to new Smugmug.
    What happens if you click the link when you are logged out?

    In legacy /Projects would be a category not a gallery. It would open the category (folder) page with the gallery thumbs
    showing. Any legacy category page would look the same in NewSmug if you have a galleries box on the page: i.e. /Projects page.

    On your legacy site the /Projects (category page) is empty which means no galleries in the cat or they are all unlisted.
    Unlisted galleries will only show for you when logged in.

    yes it is a category you're right - I used the wrong terms.

    yes they are all unlisted - IM sure I was logged in because I could get to them in the new version
