Can I have an http AND a https site on Google Webmaster tools

[Onboard.com]

My website is https but the default property that was configured on Google WMT was http and wasn't showing me any information because of that.

I added an https property for that, but my question is: do I need to delete the original HTTP or can I leave both websites?

Hi Onboard,

Google Webmaster Tools is mostly for monitoring your site and if you don't provide Google with any additional as sitemaps. So it won't matter if you submit both your http as https site.

So I shouldn't have sitemaps submitted to both versions?   If I want to use HTTPS as my main version, should I delete the sitemap from the other?

Is there an advantage to keeping a site vs deleting it?

There is no harm in having both setup. It's up to you, you can leave http, delete it, register it again later - etc.

It probably doesn't matter much if you have a sitemap submitted for http, although you can delete it if you want.

is it the SAME sitemap as for the https site? And are your metrics coming in the same?

There is no advantage other than if you need to look at any data specific to http.
