 **A:** The development server expects exact addresses. "​www.site.com"​ is different than "​site.com"​. So make sure you are accessing the site with the URL you crawled. In other words, if you crawled "​www.site.com",​ then you will access the site as "​www.site.com"​. If you crawled "​site.com",​ then you will access the site with "​site.com"​. Only after publishing, the redirects will be added, so "​site.com"​ will go to the primary site "​www.site.com"​ and vice versa. **A:** The development server expects exact addresses.

 +**Q: Can I capture specific URL's or files?**\\
 +**A:** While this feature is planned to be added in the future, it is not currently available. If you need to add files to an existing site, you can upload them through the file manager, or use the Upload URL in the file manager to upload a link to a working file.
