Hello

One of my article index two times on Google.

One is my destination URL.

But Another one is, Added ?preview=true with end of post URL.

I don't use gutenburg or any page builder. Simply using classic editor.

I provided exact term with site: in website URL box.

What should I do now?

Hi there,

?preview URLs are for logged in users only. I can't find anything about excluding it from search engines, so I wasn't it's something that will likely go away. Is it only the one page?

Yes only for one page.

I've decided to remove the post for avoiding duplicate issue.

Do you have any better suggestion?

I think it's likely a non-issue unless there's a link on your website somewhere that links to it with the ?preview part of the URL. If there isn't a link to it, search engines shouldn't be able to find it.
