Saving & Publishing Changes

After making changes in the Visual Editor, you need to save them. Here’s how the save and publish process works.

Saving Your Changes

1. After making your edits, click the Save button in the top toolbar.

   • Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+S (Windows) or Cmd+S (Mac)

2. CloudCannon saves your changes and rebuilds the page preview.

3. Your changes are now saved but may need to go through a publish step depending on your site’s setup.

Tip

Save frequently as you work! Don’t wait until you’ve made many changes — save after each meaningful edit.

Understanding the Publish Flow

Depending on how your site is configured, saving may:

• Publish immediately — Your changes go live on the website right after saving.
• Create a draft — Changes are saved but not yet live. An administrator will review and publish.

Note

Ask your administrator which publish flow is set up for your site.

Reviewing Changes Before Publishing

Before saving, you can:

• Preview the page — The Visual Editor shows a live preview of exactly how the page will look.
• Check other pages — Navigate to other pages to make sure your changes didn’t affect anything unintentionally.

Reverting Changes

If you made a mistake:

• Before saving: Simply close the editor without saving. Your changes will be discarded.
• After saving: CloudCannon keeps a version history. Contact your administrator to restore a previous version.

Caution

Once you click Save, the change is saved. If your site publishes immediately, the change will be live. Always review your changes in the preview before saving.
