- The "Live Workspace" is the version of the website that is visible in the frontend
- You can select the version of the website you want to work on, in our case Version 3.0
- Once you are in the new Workspace you can add contents to the new version of the website
- The changes you will make in the new Workspace are not visible in the frontend
