Step 5: Your Staging site is being created.
If you click on Return to Site Details Page button, that is, the Dashboard, before progress completes, a tiny progress spinner will be shown. This is the Real-Time Progress Display of your Staging site being created.
Step 6: On completion, keep a note of the username and password provided. This will be used to access the Staging site.
Step 7: These details will be available even on the site details page.
Step 8: On completion, keep a note of the username and password provided. This will be used to access the Staging site.
When you click on the arrow, you will be redirected to a page with details on the staging site.
