Publishing should be a deliberate final step. Preview the page, save a checkpoint, review links and forms, then publish from the right branch when the page owner approves.

What this guide helps you do

• Check a page before it becomes public.
• Use checkpoints and branches to protect production work.
• Publish or republish only after the final review is complete.

Before you start

• Confirm the page is ready for customers to see.
• Know whether you are on a branch or main.
• Have approval from the person responsible for the page.

Do it manually

1. Open the page in Website and review the editor state.
2. Use preview to check desktop, mobile, links, forms, and media.
3. Open Page Settings and confirm slug, title, SEO fields, visibility, and analytics settings.
4. Create a checkpoint with a clear summary of the changes.
5. If you worked on a branch, merge to main after review.
6. Use Publish or Force Publish only when saved changes are approved.

Ask Faster AI

• Review this page before publishing. Check copy, links, forms, SEO basics, placeholder media, and any risky claims.
• Create a publish checklist for this page and tell me what still needs human approval.
• Summarize the changes in this branch so I can decide whether to merge and publish.

Review before saving or publishing

• Check that placeholder media is acceptable or replaced.
• Confirm no private customer information, internal notes, or unpublished business details are visible.
• Verify redirects if the page URL changed.

Common issues and fixes

• If Publish is unavailable, confirm you are on main or merge the approved branch first.
• If the live page did not update, save, create a checkpoint, and republish.
• If a mistake is published, revert to a known checkpoint or restore the previous approved content.
