Thanks for reaching out with your Total Upkeep question!

The transfer feature in the Total Upkeep plugin allows you to create a copy of your site and transfer it to another domain. It does not delete the original site. The original site will remain intact unless you manually delete it.

So, you can safely use the feature to clone your site to a new domain and then make your modifications. The original site will still be there unless you decide to remove it. To be safe I always take a backup of both the source and destination site before performing a transfer.

I hope this helps! Please let us know if you need further clarification or help with anything else. We’re here to assist you!
