Publish or unpublish a page

This guide shows you how to make a page live, take it back down to a draft, or archive it when you no longer need it.

Who can do this: Admins with the Web Editor role. Publishing and unpublishing need the website:publish permission — without it, the Publish button doesn’t appear.

Steps

Section titled “Steps”

Publish a draft

Section titled “Publish a draft”
  1. Open the page in the editor, or find it on the Pages & Collections screen.
  2. Select Publish (in the editor header, or from the page’s actions menu in the list).

Take a page back down

Section titled “Take a page back down”
  1. Open the page’s actions menu — the Page actions menu in the editor, or the row menu in the list.
  2. Select Unpublish. The page returns to Draft and comes off your public site.

Archive a page you no longer need

Section titled “Archive a page you no longer need”
  1. Open the page’s actions menu and select Archive.
  2. In the confirmation, select Archive page. The page comes down from your public site but is kept, so you can restore it later.

Verify

Section titled “Verify”

You’ll know it worked when the page’s status badge shows Published (live at its web address), Draft (not live), or Archived (kept but not live). A brief confirmation message appears after each change.

If something goes wrong

Section titled “If something goes wrong”
  • You published by mistake — select Unpublish to return it to a draft right away. You can also undo a recent publish from the Undo panel for up to 48 hours.
  • The Publish button isn’t there — your role doesn’t include publishing permission. Ask an admin with the Web Editor role to publish for you.
  • You want to restore an archived page — open it from the Archived filter and select Publish to bring it back live.
  • Archive or delete? — Archive is the safe choice: it takes a page off your site but keeps it, so you can restore it later. The page’s menu also has a Delete action that removes the page permanently and can’t be undone — use it only when you’re sure you’ll never need the page again.
