Drafts, scheduling and publishing

When a post is live, and how to change that.

A post is a draft, scheduled or published.

Drafts

New posts start as drafts. Nobody sees them on the site. Use Preview to see how a draft will look.

Publish now

Click Publish, then Right now. The post is live and the cached pages refresh.

Schedule

Click Publish, then Schedule for later, and pick a time. It goes live at that time. Change schedule moves it; Remove schedule puts it back to a draft.

Edit a published post

Edits to a published post are saved as draft changes. Visitors still see the live version until you click Update. Discard changes throws the draft away.

Unpublish and delete

Unpublish takes a post off the site and keeps it as a draft. Move to Trash hides it; you can restore it from Trash until you delete it for good.

Ask Claude

Schedule the draft "Why we moved" for Friday at 10am.
