Publish a Page
Draft Mode
Each time you create a page, you'll notice in the Options toolbar (right-hand corner) that it will be listed as Save Draft. This means, that currently, it is only available for you to view. If your domain was already live, and people could access it, they won't be able to see this page because it is in Draft mode.
To set a Published page to Draft mode, simply go to the Options toolbar, select the Options icon, and click Switch to Draft.
Published Mode
To publish it so that people can view it on the internet:
- Select the Options on the right (up arrow icon), and click Publish Page.
- Now the button changes to Update (which means Save). Every time you make changes on your page, click Update to save. Once published (and your domain is live), the page is now available to view as a visitor.
Preview a Page
To Preview how a page will look to a visitor, click the Preview button. This opens a new tab in your browser and shows you how the page looks.
Blocks, Rows, Columns & Elements
Pages are made up of three building blocks Blocks, Columns, and Elements.
Blocks are sections that extend the full width of the page and can be identified by a blue line border between blocks and the Settings menu icon .
Rows allow for more levels of styling and control when making your webpage and can be identified by a gray dotted border and Settings icon .
Columns are within each Block and can be identified by their blue bounding box and Settings icon .
