Create and Manage Sites for Development
Create and manage sites to test the storefronts you develop.
- Create a Site in Business Manager
When you create a site in Business Manager, the site contains no content or business data such as, products, prices, or features. Add data and images as part of your customization. - Disable Page Caching for Development
Disable page caching for your site, so that you can immediately see changes made during development. Typically, you disable page caching only for sandbox instances, never for development or production instances. - Generate Search Indexes
In Business Manager you can create stop words and synonyms, modify guided search ranking, view statistics, view index documents along with their indexed fields, and rebuild indexes. You can also manage the capabilities of full text search indexes. - Disable a Site in Business Manager
Disable a site to test the offline maintenance page, to perform offline maintenance, or discontinue a microsite created around an event or product line. - View the Storefront
Open the current site storefront in a new tab from within Business Manager. - Create a Hostname Allowlist
You can provide a list of allowed hostnames to protect your site from certain host header attacks. - Continuing Development of a Storefront in Production
If you are updating or maintaining a site in production, you can import the contents of the production instance into your sandbox.
