Hi! I have a bit of a problem.

I have a website at
`csourcesc.github.io <http://csourcesc.github.io>`__, for which I set up
a namespace on Remarkbox. This website uses Netlify to do deploy
previews for its pull requests, and these are available at
``deploy-preview-<some number>--catsource.netlify.com``. And they have
the same embed snippet as the main site. But, the problem is, when
commenting on a deploy preview, I can't use the "dashboard". Or maybe
isn't that a problem, since I can do it directly on the site? But I
can't change settings then I guess.

If you have your own domain name, you could create a separate
``Namespace`` for each site.

For example:

-  ``www.example.com``
-  ``dev.example.com``

The ``dev`` domain could be a CNAME which points at the
``deploy-preview-<some number>-catsource.netlify.com`` record.

Alternatively you could create a separate ``Namespace`` for
``deploy-preview-<some number>-catsource.netlify.com``

Either way, each domain/site will need it's own ``Namespace`` and
separate code snippet.

I hope this helps and finds you.

I know this, but why was I able to comment on the deploy preview domain
with the code for the "normal" site?

An invalid ``rb_owner_key`` in the snippet will still allow commenting
on the site to work, but it won't unlock moderation abilities for a user
until the code matches on both your website and on the back end. Each
domain in Remarkbox is expected to have it's own ``Namespace`` (and the
first step to that is each need their own ``rb_owner_key`` which happens
when you click ``setup`` and follow the prompts).
