Publish a page

Steps

1. In your site's admin, open "Composer" and pick a page from "Choose a page to compose".
2. To start a new page instead, choose "New page" and pick a page type from the gallery; the draft starts from that type's own sections. "Pages", then "Add New", opens the same gallery.
3. Click a section to select it. Double-click a line of text, or choose "Edit text", and type where it sits. Press Escape when you are done.
4. For a section's other settings, use the side panel's "Settings" tab, then choose "Apply changes" before you open another page.
5. Check the page at each width with "Preview width": Desktop, Tablet and Mobile. "Open preview ↗", or "Preview draft ↗" on a published page, opens the draft in its own tab.
6. Choose "Publish". A card asks "Publish this page?" for a first publish, or "Publish these changes?" for a page that is already live. If a section still needs your facts, no card opens: the Composer names the section, so you can fill or remove it first, and nothing goes live. If it only holds sample words, the card names it, and publishing is your call.
7. Approve the card. The page is live, and its badge reads "Published".

Good to know

• On a live page, your edits wait as "Published · changes pending" until you publish them. Visitors keep seeing the published version until then. After you publish, visitors can keep seeing the old version for up to about 11 minutes, and longer if a server is having trouble.
• Putting an experiment live needs your approval. An edit to a live experiment's version waits for your approval too.
• Every publish has a way back. Undoing a first publish takes the page offline ("Take it offline"). Undoing a later publish puts the earlier version back ("Put the earlier version back").
• Each page publishes behind its own card.
• "Discard changes" throws away what you have not published, after a second click to confirm. "Changes this session" lists your edits with Undo and Redo, and it shares one history with the copilot.
• A page built in the Composer is edited in the Composer. If you open it in EmDash's own page editor, it tells you "This page is built in the Composer. Open it there."

In a sentence

Ask the copilot "Publish it". It shows the same "Publish this page?" card and publishes only when you approve.
