Manage websites
When you create a store, a website is created for it automatically which users can access through either through a browser or through Citrix Workspace app. You must have at least one website. You can add additional websites to existing stores. This allows you to provide different URLs with different configurations to your users. However multiple websites can only be accessed through a web browser as Citrix Workspace Apps are configured to use one specific website for a store, see Configure Workspace app website.
Important:
In multiple server deployments, use only one server at a time to make changes to the configuration of the server group. Ensure that the Citrix StoreFront management console is not running on any of the other servers in the deployment. Once complete, propagate your configuration changes to the server group so that the other servers in the deployment are updated.
