Access and share your trial website with others securely while maintaining control over editing permissions. Here's everything you need to know:

Trial Site Privacy

Trial sites are private by default and only accessible to site owners and collaborators. Search engines don't index these sites, making them invisible to the public unless shared directly.

Owner Access

To log in as an owner:

1. Visit your site URL (found in your "Welcome to Squarespace" email)
2. Click the Log In button
3. Enter your credentials

Sharing Your Trial Site

To share your site with others:

1. Set up a password protection
2. Share your integrated domain (without /config)
3. Visitors can view but not edit your site

Password protection keeps your site hidden from search engines while allowing specific visitors to access it. This is ideal for:

• Sharing with friends and family
• Testing across different devices
• Getting feedback before launch

When ready to make your site public, simply upgrade to a paid plan.

Tips for Sharing:

• Always share the correct integrated domain
• Ensure recipients have the password
• Monitor access through site analytics
• Remove password protection when publishing publicly

This approach maintains security while allowing controlled access to your trial site.
