## What you will learn
How to save your work, publish an approved version to the live site, and return to an earlier saved version when needed.
## Save vs publish
| Action | What it does |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Save** | Records your changes as a new version. Add a short message so teammates can identify it in History. It does **not** change the live site. |
| **Publish** | Makes the currently saved version live. Use this when you saved the work earlier and it is now approved. |
| **Save & publish** | Records your current changes as a new version and makes that version live in one step. |
**Save & publish** and **Publish** require publish permission. If you only have permission to save, a colleague with publish permission can publish a saved version.
### Save a draft
Select **Save**, then keep or edit the suggested message. This creates a version in the page's History without changing the live site.
### Publish the approved version
After saving, select **Publish** to make that saved version live. If you are ready to save and publish your unsaved changes together, select **Save & publish** instead.
## Going back to an earlier version
Open **History** in the toolbar to see saved versions, including the current and published versions. Each entry records who saved it, when, and its message. To work from an earlier version, select **Switch to this version**. It loads that version as your current draft; save or publish it when you are ready.
**Switch to this version** replaces your current draft. Save your current work first if you may need it. **Revert** discards every unsaved change and returns to the last saved version.

### 0:00
Use **Save** to record your changes as a new version. Studio suggests a message describing the changes, which you can edit before saving.
### 0:30
A saved version appears in **History**, where the team can see the message, author, and time it was saved. Saving does not change the live site.
### 1:00
To make a saved version live, select **Publish**. If your work is ready to go live now, select **Save & publish** to save and publish it in one step.
### 1:30
Publishing options depend on your permissions. If you do not have permission to publish, save your work and ask a colleague with publish permission to publish the saved version.
### 2:00
Open **History** to review saved versions. It identifies the current version and the version currently published.
### 2:30
To return to an earlier version, find it in History and select **Switch to this version**. That version becomes the current draft, which you can review, edit, save, or publish.
### 3:00
Switching versions replaces the draft that is currently open. Save your current work first if you may want to return to it.
### 3:30
**Revert** returns the page to its last saved version.
### 4:00
Revert discards every change made since that save. Only use it when you do not need the unsaved work.
### 4:30
When the page is ready, use **Publish** for a saved version, or **Save & publish** for your current unsaved changes.
