You'll want to prevent Google from crawling your Staging site if it is not password protected. This may result in SEO penalties and unwanted visitor activity, so be sure to disable staging as soon as possible.
We recommend putting your staging site into "maintenance mode."
Leaving your Staging site active but not pushing it live for extremely long periods of time will also increase the likelihood of database conflicts.
