Publishing/Save States

Ensuring your edits are saved and your site is updated correctly is essential for keeping your event website current, error-free, and live when you need it. 

Understanding Unsaved Changes

• Whenever you make new edits—such as adding sections, updating content, or adjusting design elements—you will notice an “Unsaved changes” status at the top of the page.
• This is a real-time indicator that you have made edits that have not yet been stored.
  
   

Saving Your Work

• To avoid losing any updates, click the Save button. This action stores your current progress.
• Once saved, the status at the top will change from “Unsaved changes” to “Changes saved”, assuring you that your work is secure. You will see a toast notification at the bottom confirming the same.
  

Publishing the Site for the First Time

• When you’re ready to make your website visible to the public for the very first time, simply click on the Publish button.

• After publishing, you will see a “Published” status at the top, letting you know your site is now live for visitors.

  
  

Ongoing Edits After Publishing

• If you make additional changes after publishing, the “Unsaved changes” status reappears, signaling there are fresh edits that haven’t yet been saved or published.
• Along with these unsaved changes, you’ll notice a “Revert to Published State” button. Clicking this will undo unsaved changes and revert your website to how it appeared at the last publish, offering a safe way to discard unwanted edits.
  
  

Advanced Publishing Controls for Live Sites

• For sites that have already been published, the Publish button transforms into a drop-down button.
• Clicking this drop-down reveals:
  • The current live URL of your site.
  • The last published date and the name of the user who last edited..
  • An Update Site (Publish with all changes) option, which allows you to instantly publish all recent edits and update your live website.
