Update All Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Double-check that all your website content is present and up to date on your staging site. This includes recent pages, posts, events, media (like images and documents), and any other updates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you added an event to your old site while your cuTheme site was on staging, you will have to recreate that content. The sites are not connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"blank-installs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blank Installs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you had a blank site installed (versus a migration), please ensure that you have uploaded any required media from your old site to your cutheme site on staging (images, PDF files, docs etc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-export-form-entries\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Export Form Entries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your old site includes active forms, <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cms-help\/advanced-training\/module-4-forms\/downloading-a-csv-file-of-form-entries\/\">export any recent submissions<\/a> to ensure you don\u2019t lose important data collected during the migration period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-submit-your-go-live-request\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Submit Your Go-Live Request<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once everything is ready, submit your go-live <a href=\"https:\/\/itsjira.carleton.ca\/servicedesk\/customer\/portal\/5\/create\/668\">request to the Service Desk<\/a>. Please allow up to a week for the team to schedule and complete the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-no-further-changes\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. No Further Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After submitting your request, avoid making additional changes to your site. This ensures that everything you&#8217;ve worked on is accurately reflected during deployment and helps us deliver a smooth launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By following this checklist, you\u2019ll help set your website up for a successful launch. If you have questions or need support, we\u2019re here to help\u2014just reach out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/itsjira.carleton.ca\/servicedesk\/customer\/portal\/5\/create\/668\">Request your Website Go-Live<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Launching your website is an exciting milestone\u2014congratulations!
