Site Mounting

November 8th, 2023 | Minor

Features:

  • You can find the Site Mountings feature under Site Settings.
  • Site Mounting is available on the Standard, Team, and Enterprise plans.
• Released appearance update for the Project page.
  • The Publishing tab on the Project page now displays a diagram illustrating which sites publish to other sites within the project.

Branch from a branched site in Projects
