Online store & page builder · Draft & publish

Edit in a draft, publish when it is right

Every change is saved as a draft. Preview it, review what is unpublished section by section, then Publish Now or schedule it. Nothing reaches customers before that.

In short

Page builder edits are saved as a draft and never reach the live store until you publish. The Publish menu lists every unpublished section with Discard per section or Discard all changes, publishes now or on a schedule, and every save and publish is kept as a revision an assistant can restore after a preview.

The problem it solves

Editing a live site means customers watch the half finished version, and one wrong click on a busy evening is visible to everyone.

How it works

4 steps, start to finish

  1. 1

    Edit freely

    Every change saves to the draft; a dot on Publish shows there is something unpublished.

  2. 2

    Preview

    Press Shift P to play the page the way a visitor sees it.

  3. 3

    Review the changes

    Unpublished Changes lists each changed section, with Discard on each and Discard all changes at the foot.

  4. 4

    Publish or schedule

    Publish Now, or Schedule to pick a publish time.

In detail

What draft & publish does for you

Common queries

Questions people ask

  • No. The live store serves the published page until you publish again.
  • Yes. Discard one section, or Discard all changes to go back to what is published.
  • Yes, through the MCP connection: an assistant lists a section's revisions, previews the restore, and restores it only with the confirmation that preview gave.
  • No. Assistants work in the draft and show a preview; publishing is a separate step you approve.
