Using Latest Sitebuilder

Sure asked and answered somewhere here but - can I build a new site and link it to a site built with Desktop and not have it affect the older site?

Hello, 

Are you wanting to rebuild a site in the newer builder to eventually use the old domain on? Or are you wanting to use a new domain name for an old site?

Ok - I would like to add a page to my main site - it is rather large - 63 pages - 1,000 pictures - plus lots of other files all built with Desktop. Last time I tried to add something seemed like an all day job just to get it to open for to edit - Have Win 10 - when editing one of my smaller sites and going to Publish asks me about going to Win 11 - says my browser is out of date which it isn't have latest Edge - finally get to a box on the bottom of the page which lets Edge work, maybe I am saying wrong but - can I build a new page with Sitebuilder and link to my Desktop site? My main site way too big to rebuild and I don't want to do anything to compromise it. A tech told me the browser issue was because the short cut I use for Homestead is the little maroon house - haven't found a different way make the shortcut. Thanks for your help.

Are you able to log into your desktop editor? You can create a brand new website and reference your old website, yes but editing the same website with the desktop editor and Sitebuilder Plus editor is not recommended.

When I try to log into - 18 minutes to Prepare File Tree - 4 minutes for getting checksum date - then I get synchronizing files - then Published Version has been changed ( not by me that I know of ) then option of using Published Version or Local Version - click on Published and start out with Browser out of date, which it isn't - click on local and got a page with over lapping text - can't go through this with 100's of files - I am ready to bite the bullet and try Sitebuilder Plus - tech walked me through part of it but not much help with file synchronizing part - hope someone can help or should I try another tech?
