New AEM Page vs New Site

If my site structure is like

MySite ( SiteName )
   --- Home ( Page )
   --- ProductPage ( Page )

In the siteadmin console, when creating a MySite site, should I use "New Page" or "New Site .."? When to use which option?

"New Site" is used to create a site from an existing Blueprint . Blueprint is part of the AEM Multi-Site Manager (MSM) functionality. The project is used to create several sites with a common structure, for example MySite in English, French, Spanish, etc.

The picture is created from an existing site. A site is a collection of pages, so you will be using New Page to create your site.

So, if you don't already have MySite , you will use the New Page option. When "MySite" is ready and you want to create copies of "MySite" for different languages ​​and countries to provide a common structure, you will need to use the "New Site" option.
