Note You can't create, delete, or duplicate community sites in Site.com.

- **[Delete a Site.com Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_delete.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can delete any site that isn't published. If the site is published, you must first unpublish it before you can delete it.
- **[Duplicate a Site.com Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_duplicate.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create a copy of a site.
- **[Export a Site.com Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_export.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can export your site from Site.com to your hard drive. The site is exported in a packaged format with a .site extension, which you can import into another Salesforce organization. The maximum site size you can import is 2 GB.
- **[Import a Site.com Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_importing.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can import an exported Site.com site into your organization. When you import a site, you’re given the site administrator role in the site. You can import a site file that was exported in Summer ’19 or later and has a maximum site size of 2 GB.
- **[Configure Site Properties](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_properties.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Set properties for the site, such as the home page, site name, and error page, and create an anonymous preview URL that allows other users to review the site before it goes live. The URL is always valid (unless you disable it) and shows the latest work in progress. It's only available to the people you send it to, and can't be found by search engines.
- **[Enable Clickjack Protection in Site.com](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_clickjacking_enable.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Clickjacking is a type of attack that tricks users to click something, such as a button or link, because they perceive they are clicking something safe. Instead, the button or link performs malicious actions on your site, leading to data intrusion, unauthorized emails, changed credentials, or other site-specific results. Hidden iframes can be placed maliciously on site pages and entice users to click a button or link that appears below the hidden iframe. With clickjack protection, you can configure whether your browser allows external domains to frame your Site.com site pages.
- **[Site.com Version Overview](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_versioning_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Each time you publish your site, it's tracked as a version. You can restore your site back to one of the previously published versions. You can't select individual components when restoring; you must restore the complete site.
- **[Create URL Redirects in Site.com](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_redirects.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    If you move or reorganize pages in your site, search engines can have trouble finding the new page locations. To avoid this issue, set up URL redirects to inform users and search engines that site content has moved.
- **[Import External Websites into Site.com](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_external_import.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    With Site.com Studio, you can import your existing website and recreate it automatically as a Site.com site, which prevents you from having to recode existing HTML pages.
- **[Copy and Overwrite a Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_sandbox.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Export a copy of your site, and then use the overwrite feature to replace your current production Site.com or Site.com community site with the exported file.
- **[Use the Metadata API to Deploy a Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_website_api_overview.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    As a user, you can migrate a site from sandbox to production. You can use the Metadata API to create a deployable package for Site.com sites and Site.com Communities sites.

By adding common page elements to the template and then basing site pages on it, you can achieve a consistent look and feel throughout your site.
