Editing pages
Everything on your site is edited in one consistent loop: draft → preview → publish. Learn it once and it applies to home-page blocks, custom pages, posts, services and events alike.
The loop
- Edit — changes save as a DRAFT, autosaved as you type. Nothing public moves while you work.
- Preview — the preview renders your actual content through the same renderer the public site uses. What you see is what visitors will see — same fonts, same callouts, same tables.
- Publish — one deliberate click snapshots the page and pushes it live.
Draft/publish, precisely
| Action | Public site |
|---|---|
| Editing a published page | Unchanged until publish |
| Unpublishing | Returns to draft; URL 404s (content kept) |
| Republishing | Live again, new version recorded |
This split is the reason you can redesign at 2 AM: worst case, the public page is simply still the old one.
Versions and restore
Every publish snapshots a version (the last 5 are kept). A redesign gone wrong is a restore away: open the page's versions, pick the snapshot, restore — the restored state becomes the new draft for further edits. Versions exist so that boldness is cheap.
Tip
Publish before big edits. Restoring needs a snapshot to restore TO — press publish on the current state before you start tearing things apart, and you have guaranteed yourself a way back.
Autosave and its honest edge
Autosave protects you from crashes and closed tabs — the draft is on the server continuously. Its edge: autosave saves what is THERE, including the half-deleted paragraph you were about to retype. The undo history inside the editor covers the session; versions cover published states.
Keyboard-first editing
- The editor accepts markdown shortcuts as you type (
##,-,bold) — see Rich text & markdown. - Blocks reorder with drag or keyboard controls.
Ctrl/Cmd+Zundoes your last editor action — including an AI-assisted edit; the assistant works through the same pipeline (see What the AI can do).
Where each thing edits
| Content | Edits at |
|---|---|
| Home blocks, links | Dashboard → Links / section editors |
| Custom pages | Page builder |
| Posts | Dashboard → Blog |
| Services, events | Their dedicated edit pages |
| Design assets | Design Studio (canvas, not markdown) |
Note
Deleted is not the same as drafted. Drafts and versions are recoverable; deletion is permanent — the full picture is in Deleting content. When in doubt, unpublish instead of delete.
