How can I update my Site’s status?
Updating your Site’s status is super easy with the app. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a Property tab. Click that to see a list of your Sites. You can also edit certain sections of your Site from this screen.
From there, click the 3 dots next to the Site you’d like to pause and select Update status from the menu. Select a reason and how long you’d like to pause the Site.
Follow the same steps if you want to open a paused Site.
