Create a Site
Admin provides three common methods:
| Method | Deep link | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|
| Blank site | /_Admin/create | Start with the smallest site structure |
| Import site | /_Admin/create/import | Import an existing site package, ZIP file, or migration source |
| Clone site | /_Admin/create/clone | Copy an existing site as the starting point for a new project |
If template-based site creation is available in your environment, select a template from the site creation flow and review its name, domain, and source before creating the site.
Enter Site Admin for the First Time
After entering site Admin, the URL normally contains the site ID:
text
/_Admin/site/dashboard?SiteId={site-guid}Site-level deep links in the CMS documentation use the same format. Replace {site-guid} with the SiteId from the address bar of your current site.
