How to Access Staging and Live in SGEN
This procedure shows how to open the staging and live environments for a site from Site Manager, and when each action should be used.
Before you start
You need:
Where to go
Start from Site Manager:
Use your normal SG-Dashboard access.
Go to the area where your site cards are listed and managed.
Locate the site card for the domain you want to open.
Steps
Use the site-card actions in the correct context.
Use View Staging Site when you want to inspect the staging build in a new tab.
Use Login to Stage when you want the staging environment opened already logged into SG-Admin.
Use Visit Live Site or Login to Live only when the live environment is expected to be ready.
How to choose the right action
Choose actions deliberately:
Choose this when you only need to inspect the staging build.
Choose this when you need to work immediately inside the staging admin.
Choose this when you want to test the public production site.
Choose this when live is available and you need to enter that environment in a new tab.
What success looks like
You should be able to:
What to do if it does not work
Use the correct response for the state you are in.
That usually means DNS propagation or certificate provisioning is still in progress. Keep working in staging.
Check domain readiness first, then check billing state.
Use staging until live is fully ready.
