    I want to create a copy of my current site to experiment with other potential designs of the site. I know in Wix they have a simple button of ‘Duplicate Site.’ Does WordPress have an equivalent of this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    re: switching themes
    We have a preview function. No content is lost when switching themes on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.

    Go to https://wordpress.com/themes and type in your key words.

    re: switching themes

    Themes are just “skins” on WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
    Note that switching themes https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes can be easily done, provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the site, you to

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/themes.php

    *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog. wp-admin/themes.php

    The theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/ provides a preview function for exactly that purpose ie. so you can view what a theme will appear like prior to changing one.
