Creating a "Safe Area" on your Plinkit site for testing purposes

This how-to walks you through setting up an area of your Plinkit site that may be used for testing purposes. Use this area to see how something looks on a page or practice embedding videos before making changes to your live site.

  1. Login to your Plinkit site as manager
  2. On your home page, click the Contents tab
  3. Click "add item" and select "folder"
  4. Give the folder an appropriate name (e.g. Playground, Sandbox, Chuck etc.)
  5. If you have more than one person who works on the site, it may be a good idea to put a caveat in the Description box. Something to the effect of: “This folder is for testing purposes only, do not publish”, should work.
  6. Save the folder.
  7. Return to the home page and select the Contents tab.
  8. Locate your home page and copy it by selecting the check box next to it and clicking the “Copy” button at the bottom of the page.
  9. Open the folder you created and paste the copied home page into it.
  10. Bring up the page you pasted and click the edit tab.
  11. Give the page a new title so it is easier to discern from the original.
  12. Add as many pages as needed to your new Safe Area. Do not Publish!
  13.  Happy Testing!
