Making Edits, Saving, Approving- Top Text and Bottom Text

Once you add changes you need to “preview”, “save and exit”, then “approve” changes. You will not see your changes until you do all three steps above.

If you have approval status, you can decide to “approve”, or “publish”, your work so that anyone going to your site can read the content you have updated. Do this only when you are absolutely sure that you have the content exactly the way you want it. The information will be immediately available on the live site.

Also, once you have saved your work you can allow people in your office (if they have permission to edit your site) to review what you have down. This is a good way to refine your work without publishing it to the site for view of the general public.

When you Submit your work, Switch to Live View will Not Reveal the page, because it is not “live”, or published. This is good if you are still working on the content and it’s not ready for public viewing! However, you can preview your work as if it were published, by selecting preview.
