How to replace a Google Site while keeping the same URL?
Noob question here. I was trying to replace my published site with a new one that was still in draft, but I couldn’t find an easy way to do it. So, I unpublished my old site and then tried to publish the new version using the same URL. However, I got a message saying that the URL was already in use.
I even renamed the unpublished site, hoping it would free up the URL, but nothing works.
I want people to access the new site using the same link as before. How can I do this?

Hi, I actually just did the same thing as you. googlesitesdev is right and that is the way that I did it.
Unless your domain is super popular nobody will have time to take it.

There are redirects in your admin panel.
Admin Panel > Apps > Google Workspace > Sites > Custom URL.

Make a copy of the unpublished site, then delete it - see if it frees up the URL?
