My 'not linked' Home page is live!

Site URL: https://www.thefarmatavebury.co.uk/

I've created a holding page for this site, while I work on the design.

Even though the page that's live is in the unlinked section, it's somehow live and I don't want it to be.

I would like the holding page https://www.thefarmatavebury.co.uk/new-page-1 to be live instead

Just had a chat with Support who kindly sorted this out for me;

Currently, the page called Test, placed in the Not Linked section is set as the homepage. In this case, you may want to set the page called Home (in the Main Navigation) as the homepage. You can do it in the Page Settings. Check out this link for more information on this: https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/205814408-Setting-a-homepage

Pages in the NOT LINKED section will all be live unless you individually disable them. They just won't appear in the navigation.

You can set an alternative page as the homepage (as you mentioned above) but other pages will still be discoverable.

Another option is to set a site password and then design the lock screen that appears. Adding a site password will prevent visitors (and search engines) from stumbling across your site whilst you design it.

Thanks Paul, I appreciate that.
