Can you make a duplicate of your site?

Is there a way to create a duplicate to use it for the new design?

Yes. If your site has less than 100 pages you can duplicate the site. This will create a new trial with the same design and settings.

The duplicate site will contain a copy of the site's visible content (pages, content, styles, images) but other data will not be copied across. For example, it will not include commerce orders, customer data, subscriptions, email campaigns or billing information.

About me: I've been a SQSP User for 18 yrs. I was invited to join the Circle when it launched in 2016. I have been a Circle Leader since 2017. I don't work for Squarespace. I value honesty, transparency, diversity and good design ♥.
Work: I founded and run SF.DIGITAL, building Squarespace Extensions to supercharge your commerce website. 
Content: Views and opinions are my own. Links in my posts may refer to SF.DIGITAL products or may be affiliate links.

You can also copy just one page, move it to your unlinked section work on it, enable it move it to the linked section, make it your home page, move the original one out and disable it. If your home page is a portfolio page the procedure would be a bit more complitcated, you would create a new portfolio page in the unlinked section, copy the pages in the portfolio move them to the unlinked section to work on them, when done move the new portfolio page into the linked section and all the pages as well. Then move the originals out, the portfolio out and then disable or delete. Need any more help in this regard don't hesitate to ask here.

If I duplicate my site, can I then 'publish' the copied site to my existing domain?  and if so, will it just overwrite my existing live site?  I can't find any info on this anywhere.
