Managing Versions and Drafts

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to manage versioning and drafts.

Versioning and Drafts

  • When making changes to a page, you can save the page as a draft by clicking Save Draft. This allows the user, or a different user, to return and edit the page.
  • Draft pages can be previewed.
  • To make the updated page visible on the customer site, click Publish.
  • When a page is published, a version is saved, up to 10 versions.This screenshot shows a page status after being saved as draft.
    This screenshot highlights the settings to 'Save Draft 'and 'Publish.'
  • You can view previous versions of the page by clicking the gear icon in the upper left of the page, then clicking View Published Revisions. This shows the previously published versions of the page when they were published, and the user who published them.
  • Click Edit to revise a previous version of the page, or Preview to view how the page would appear on the customer site.
  • This allows you to revert to earlier versions. If you'd like to return to a previously published version, you can select it to edit, make any adjustments, and publish the page.This screenshot shows the gear icon and options available.

Summary

  • Saving Drafts: Save a page as a draft by clicking "Save Draft" to allow for future edits and preview draft pages before publishing.
  • Publishing: Publish a page to make it visible on the customer site; each published page creates a version, with a maximum of 10 versions saved.
  • Versioning: Access previous versions by clicking the gear icon and selecting "View Published Revisions"; you can edit or preview these versions to revert to earlier page states.
