Go to SETTINGS and select GENERAL SETTINGS, the setting will be inside "General". Click on the Website Status dropdown, and select “Staging Mode”:
NOTE: Switching the site to "Staging Mode" will apply a "noindex, nofollow" directive to all pages, preventing them from being crawled until the site is returned to "Live Mode".
