Updating Homepage

Jovanni Murray
Would love for this feature request to be made possible: I created a new page I wanted to test before going live so I made it hidden. I see I can move pages around but I can't replace the newly created page with the home page.
I notice that updates take effect immediately which doesn't give me time to format the page how I would like it to look first.
Long story short, I would like to be able to replace a newly created page with my homepage.
beacons.ai/rawsueshii - homepage

Hey Jovanni Murray, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific functionality would you like to see when replacing a newly created page with the homepage?
- How important is it for you to have a staging area to format pages before they go live?
- Would you prefer an option to schedule when updates go live, or is immediate effect acceptable if you can format beforehand?

Jacob Choi-Durham I would just prefer to have the option to swap out my current homepage with a new page I created. It's 1,000% important to format my oage prior to it going live but I do like the option of keeping my homepage JIC I would like to bring it back. Scheduling to go live is ok too but I would still like an option to swap out my homepage to keep it for future reference or needs

If you mean your Home link-in-bio page, then you can just name your default Home page something else and name your new page Home.

mini2 … yes for link-in-bio. that solution changes the URL path but not the root home page that shows up when you go to https://beacons.ai/[path]. I’d like to be able to go into the Manage Pages link and change another page to be Home.

Hiya bensady, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific features or elements from the current home page would you like to retain on the new home page?
- How frequently do you anticipate needing to change the home page?
- Are there any specific reasons or scenarios where changing the home page would be particularly beneficial for you?
bensady
Jacob Choi-Durham …
- I’m referring to the link-in-bio home page. Going into the Manage Pages section and changing another page into the Home page.
- Weekly or Monthly … depends how frequently you make updates and tweaks
- Trying new marketing copy, selling different services and products, etc. updating your branding.

bensady - I agree! I just requested this. the updates you make are immediate. This doesn't give enough time for me to edit the page how I would like and test before I make the page live. I would like to be able to switch out pages as well into a homepage so I can a/b test etc or try new design layout for UI/UX improvements
