Saving, previewing and publishing

Save = draft

Anything you have changed but not yet saved gets a solid orange border. The white bar below your website then gets an orange outline and the Save as draft button lights up orange. Click Save as draft (or press Ctrl+S, on a Mac Cmd+S). Your change is then stored as a draft: you can carry on later, but visitors can't see it yet.

Parts that have been saved as a draft but are not online yet keep an orange dotted line. That way you can see at a glance on every page what is going to change.

For a post, product, event or other item in Collections it works the same way: the window only has the Save draft button. It saves your changes as a draft and closes the window. You then put them online with Publish at the top right, for everything at once.

Changed your mind? Undo changes

If a page has saved changes, the Undo changes button appears at the bottom. It puts the page back exactly as it currently is on the website. If the header or footer was changed too, those are reverted as well (they apply to the whole website).

Preview first

Click the eye at the top right. Your website opens in a new window (on preview.windkracht.nl), with all your drafts in it. That way you see exactly how it will look, without it being online yet.

Publish = online

1. Click Publish at the top right. Any unsaved changes on the page are saved first.
2. You arrive at the Publish overview. At the top there is an orange bar showing how many changes are ready. Below it, for each part (pages, website, posts, products, …), you see field by field what is online now (struck through) and what it will be after publishing (highlighted in orange). Use Hide to collapse an item.
3. Untick anything that should stay a draft for now, and click Put everything online in the orange bar (or Put online if you don't select everything). The little rotor spins while it is working; your website is updated within a few seconds. If a lot of websites are publishing at the same time, you briefly see Waiting to build… with your place in the queue. You don't need to do anything: as soon as it is your turn, your website goes online automatically.

Reverting

In the overview, use the arrow to revert a change to what is online now. With Revert everything you start with a clean slate: all drafts go back to how the website is now. Anything that has never been published (for example a new post) stays; you can delete that yourself.

Can't see your change? Refresh the page in your browser (F5, or Ctrl+F5 / Cmd+Shift+R). If there is still an orange dot in the menu, something has not been published yet.
