Best way to split a site in two?

Jun 18, 2012 7:30 AM

I have a site I am revising. The site and its subfolders are located like this

 

Macintosh HD

......Business folder

.........Mysitename.site

.........Mysitename.settings

.........Mysitename.data

 

Is that as it should be? Seems so but prefer to ask and be sure.

 

After revising, I plan to split the site into two sites. I suppose the best way to do that is to hit Save As... Is that in fact the best way? What happens then to the .data and .settings folders? Do they copy properly? Do they end up in the right place?

 

And last:

 

In each version, I plan to delete some pages so there are now two related sites, each with its own similar but not matching collection of pages. Can I simply, in each version, delete one page at a time? 

 

My best guess is, after deleting pages, I should recheck links with command-5 the Links In /Out palette. Is that the best way?

 

Thanks.

    Larry,

     

    If I understand it in the right way, you can do as you plan. You may, outside GoLive:

     

    1) Create a new folder (like Business 2 folder) and copy everything from inside Business folder into it;

    2) In each folder (Business/Business 2), delete and/or add things as needed;

     

    Then you may open GoLive, open each of the site files, press the Refresh button, and recheck links.

    Thank you. Sounds simple and uncomplicated and easy which is three ways of saying the same thing.
