View Preview Web Site
Once a merge request has been created and commitments made into that merge request part of the review and approval process a preview Website will be generated. This website should be reviewed to see how the new changes will appear in the live site before final migration. This will ensure that any errors in formatting or displaying are discovered and corrected before going live.
