Reviewing & Publishing Your Changes
Work in a private draft, check exactly what changed, then publish it all live at once — with undo, discard, and a live-site link.
Reviewing & Publishing Your Changes
Everything you do in the Design Studio happens in a draft that only you can see. You can recolor the whole site, restack a page, swap every photo — and your customers keep seeing the version they always have. The site only changes when you decide it should, by publishing. That gap between editing and going live is the safety net that lets you experiment without holding your breath.
Draft Versus Live
The footer at the bottom of the studio always tells you where you stand. A small status reads Unpublished draft while you have pending changes and Published once everything’s live. Next to it, View live site opens your real, public site in a new tab — the quickest way to compare what you’re drafting against what visitors actually see right now.
Seeing Exactly What Changed
When you have edits waiting, a pill appears showing how many. Click it and a Review changes panel lists them out — design tweaks on one side, section changes (added, edited, or removed, and on which page) on the other. It’s worth a glance before you publish, especially after a long session, so nothing slips through that you didn’t mean to send live.
Undo, Redo, and Discard
Two arrows in the footer undo and redo your recent steps, so a change you regret is one click back — the keyboard shortcuts (⌘/Ctrl + Z, and add Shift to redo) work too. If you want to abandon the whole draft and snap back to what’s currently published, Discard throws away every pending change at once.
Going Live
When the draft reads the way you want, click Publish. Every pending change — design, structure, content — goes out together in one move; there’s no publishing things one at a time. The pill clears, the status flips to Published, and your draft becomes the live site.
One thing to expect: your site won’t update the very instant you publish. It takes about a minute for the new version to be built and reach visitors, and that short delay is by design — How Your Website Updates explains why, and why it’s the reason your site loads so fast in the first place.
Tip: Publish during a quiet hour when you’ve made big structural changes. If you’ve only nudged a color or fixed a typo, publish away — small changes are nothing to worry about.
