Great! You've built your webpage, and you're ready to push the changes to your website. When it comes to publishing your page, we have two options:
- Publish to the Staging environment
- Publish to the Live site
What is the difference between Staging and Live?
The staging environment is a private version of your website used to view changes as if you were viewing the real site. This provides you with the freedom to change modules, update imagery, mess around with the layout, etc and preview it before putting it on the Live website.
The Live site is the public version of your website that will appear on Google and other search engines.
Any content that is published live will appear on this version of the website for anyone to see.

A breakdown of how these sites differ and how to access each can be found here: Staging vs Live.
How to publish a page?
When you're ready to publish your page, you'll find that at the very top of the web page editor, there are two buttons: Publish to Staging and Publish to Live.
All you have to do is click the appropriate button, and that's it. The page publish will initiate, and once completed, your new changes will be available to view on the respective site.

Please Note: Publishing a page to the Live site does NOT automatically publish it to the staging environment. This will require a separate publish.
