Publish, and go back if you need to

Publishing puts your draft in front of visitors. Coframe keeps every version, so you can always see what changed and go back.

    Publish a page

    1. Open Version history… from the Publish menu.
    2. Pick a version to look at it.
    3. Choose Restore. The version you're leaving is saved first, so you can undo this too.
    4. Publish again to put the restored version live.

Good to know

  • Save a version on purpose before a big change, or when a page is approved. Ask Jarvis, Coframe's assistant: "Save a version called Approved by legal." Saved versions are kept forever.
  • A broken page never replaces a live one. Code mistakes are caught before publishing.
  • Change the path, keep the visitors. If you change a page's path, the old address sends visitors to the new one.
  • Unpublish takes a page offline. Nothing in your workspace is deleted.
  • Publish many at once. Select pages in the list and publish them together.

Coming soon

  • Review & publish. One view of every change, who made it, and where it will go, with a choice of what goes live.Coming soon
