The Site screen controls what the site says about itself. These values are
live as soon as you save them and become the default for every page.

- **Name** is used when a page has no title of its own and identifies the site
  in a shared link.
- **Description** can appear under the title in search results and link cards.
- **Author** and **X handle** credit the site or a shared card.
- **Theme colour** tells supported mobile browsers which colour to use around
  the page.
- **Sharing picture** is the default image for links pasted into messages and
  social posts. It is cropped to a 1200 by 630 card.

A page can supply its own title, description, or sharing image when it needs
to differ. If it does not, the site-wide value is used.

Two checkboxes change how visitors move around the site, and both are off until
you tick them. **Fade between pages** fades each page into the next instead of
cutting. **Update pages in place** keeps a visitor where they were reading when
a page reloads itself, after a form's answer for example, instead of jumping to
the top. Your site's own scripts have to allow for that, so ask your agent
before turning it on on a site that has some. Your agent can also set either
one differently for a single page.

Select **Keep this site out of search engines** while a site should not be
listed. This applies to every page, even if an individual page has different
metadata. Clear it when the site is ready to be found.

Your site serves its own `/robots.txt` and `/sitemap.xml`, with nothing for you
to write or upload. The sitemap lists every published page and every published
row that answers at an address of its own, your blog posts included, once for
each language the site speaks and with the date each was last published. That is
the address to give Google Search Console, however large the site gets: past a
thousand addresses it becomes an index pointing at the rest, which is the same
thing to submit. While the box above is ticked, `robots.txt` asks every crawler
to stay away and the sitemap is empty, so the file and the checkbox can never
disagree.

Your agent can also keep one page out of search engines while the rest of the
site is listed. That page is left out of the sitemap, and so are the rows shown
through it. A blog whose page is kept out this way has nothing in its feed
either.

Sites with several languages can give each language its own description and
keywords. The author, social handle, and theme colour stay shared.

## Transfer this site

**Transfer site** hands the selected site to another organization, a client's
for example. **Create transfer link** makes a private link for the owner of the
organization that should have it. It works once and expires after two days,
and **Revoke** cancels it. They sign in, pick one of the organizations they
own, and accept. The site then runs on that organization's plan, so one whose
plan can't hold it says why instead of letting them pick it. Once it's
accepted, nobody in your organization can open the site any more. Only the
owner of the site's organization can transfer it.

## Delete this site

**Delete site** at the bottom of the screen permanently removes the selected
site: its pages, files, tables and their rows, workflows, and any connected
domain. Your account, the site's organization and its members all stay, and
the dashboard moves to another site you can reach, or to Organizations when
there isn't one. This cannot be undone.

Only the owner of the site's [organization](/dashboard/organizations/) can
delete it. A member sees a line saying so where the button would be.
