Publishing and versioning
Every change you save in the page editor is recorded as a new version. This means you can work on a page over multiple sessions, keep drafts separate from what’s live, and switch back to an earlier version if something goes wrong.Saving and publishing
Saving and publishing are two separate steps in Studio.| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Save | Records your changes as a new version. It does not change what visitors see on the live site. |
| Save & publish | Saves your changes and immediately makes them live (available if you have publish permission). |
| Publish | Once a version is saved, makes that saved version live. |
If you don’t have publish permission, you’ll only see Save. Your saved changes are kept as a version, and a colleague with publish permission can publish them.
Version history
Every time you save, a new version is created. Open the History button in the editor toolbar to see the full list. Each version shows when it was saved, who saved it, and its commit message.Switching to a previous version
Page comments
You and your team can leave comments on a page to flag sections for review, give feedback, or ask questions without changing the content itself. Comments live in the preview toolbar — switch the preview into Comment mode to add and view them. Replies are threaded so conversations stay organised.Attaching files to comments
You can attach files directly to a comment — drop in a screenshot, a document, or a piece of content the page should use. This means customers no longer need to send content in a separate email and then add a comment separately; everything stays in one place. Attached files are added to the Uploads library automatically, so they are ready to use on the page straight away without downloading and re-uploading. You can preview an attachment in a modal without leaving Comment mode.Spotting outdated comments
If the content a comment refers to — the item, block, column, or section — has changed since the comment was left, a banner appears at the top of the thread. This lets you see at a glance that an issue may no longer be valid, or may already have been fixed by someone who edited the content but hasn’t marked the comment as resolved. From the banner you can click View original to see the page exactly as it was when the comment was left, then return to the latest version whenever you like. Any unsaved changes are restored when you switch back.If you click View original and then leave that comment, the preview automatically switches back to the current version — this stops you from accidentally editing an outdated version of the page.

A comment says the content has changed — what does that mean?
A comment says the content has changed — what does that mean?
The content the comment refers to has been edited since the comment was left, so the feedback may no longer apply or may already be fixed. Use View original on the banner to see the page as it was, then switch back to the latest version. Once the point is dealt with, mark the comment as resolved.
Can I attach a file to a comment?
Can I attach a file to a comment?
Yes. Attach files directly to a comment instead of emailing them separately — they’re added to the Uploads library and can be used on the page right away. You can preview an attachment in a modal without leaving Comment mode.
