How to Publish a Site

Learn how to publish your website to make changes live. Sites have draft and published versions, allowing you to work on changes safely before making them visible to visitors.

How to Publish a Site

Before You Begin

Steps

Step 1: Open the site

  1. Go to Website + App > Site Editor
  2. Click on the site you want to publish

Step 2: Make and review changes in draft

  1. Edit pages, content, and settings in the draft version — draft changes do not affect the live site
  2. Preview to confirm everything looks correct

Step 3: Publish

  1. Click Publish
  2. Confirm when prompted

The draft becomes the live site immediately. After publishing, the draft resets to match the published version so you can start new changes safely.

How Publishing Works

  • Draft changes go live only when you publish — no impact to visitors until then
  • Publishing replaces the previous live version with no downtime
  • You cannot roll back to a previous version; make new changes and republish if needed

Troubleshooting

Publish button not visible? Confirm you are in the site editor and have permission to manage sites.

Publishing failed? Verify the site is accessible and that your account has publish permissions.

Changes not showing after publishing? Confirm publishing completed, that changes were saved in draft, and try clearing your browser cache.
