Are you ready to save your content?  You can use the Publishing Period tools on the left-hand side of the Content Editor to set a Publishing Date or Expiry Date.

  • To Draft:  To save your page as a draft, leave 'Publish At' un-checked
  • To Publish:  To save and publish your page, check 'Publish At', and specify whether you'd like to publish this page immediately or schedule it for future publishing.

The Save button in the bottom right-hand corner will be updated based on the 'Published' state specified above. Click it to Save your Changes.
You also have the option to preview the article by clicking on the eye icon.


★ Remember to Save All Sections Before Publishing! ★

On sections that allow for multiple rows of content, there is an extra step. On a new row, you must 'Add' the row (bottom left) before continuing with your 'Publish'.

When making a change to a row, that 'Add' button will instead be 'Update'.
