How-to

# Publish a change, and undo one

Drafts are private until you publish. Every publish is a revision you can return to.

## 1. Undo as you go

Ctrl+Z (⌘Z on a Mac) undoes the last edit; the toolbar has the same arrows. Undo works on words, moves and deletions alike.

## 2. Publish when it reads right

Press Publish in the toolbar. The draft becomes the live page. Visitors see it on their next visit — no delay, and no old copy left showing.

## 3. Go back to an earlier version

Open Revisions in the toolbar. Every publish is listed with its time; pick one to see it, and restore it if it was better.

## 4. Share a draft before publishing

A preview link shows the draft to anyone who has the link — a colleague, a client — without publishing it. Links can be revoked.

## Try it on your own site

Or on a throwaway one in the sandbox, with no account.
