Authoring
Publishing
Every Document is in one of two states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | The Document exists in your account but isn't attached to any Publication. Only you can see it. |
| Published | The Document is placed in a Category within a Publication, and has a public web address. |
Publishing and unpublishing are single actions — nothing is copied or deleted, and you can move a Document between the two states as often as you like.
Publishing a Document
From the Document editor (or a Document row in the Manage tab), use Publish. The Publish Document dialog asks for two things:
- Publication — which of your Publications this Document belongs to.
- Category — an existing Category in that Publication, or + Create new category, which reveals a New category title field so you can make one without leaving the dialog.
Confirm, and the Document is placed in that Publication and Category together. It now has a canonical URL built from the Publication's domain, the Category's URL path, and the Document's slug:
https://{domain}/{url-prefix}/{category-path}/{document-slug}
Editing after publishing
Just edit and Save. Changes to a published Document's title, body, image, or tags appear on connected websites immediately — there's no re-publish step.
Changing the slug of a published Document, or a Category's URL path, changes the Document's address and can break existing links.
Moving a Document between Categories
In the Manage tab, drag the Document to another Category and Save Order. It stays published; only its section (and its URL) changes.
Unpublishing
Use Unpublish (on the editor or the Manage tab row). The Unpublish Document dialog confirms; the Document is removed from its Publication and Category and returns to Draft. Its content is untouched, and you can publish it again — to the same place or a different one — whenever you want.
A Document can only ever be published to one Publication at a time. To move it to a different Publication, publish it there; it leaves the old one automatically.
