Publish new edits
To push new edits live on the page, use the Publish button in the top command bar.

A publishing box will appear that allows you to name the version. The name is optional and will default to the current date and time if left blank. Click OK and the page edits and updates are publicly viewable immediately.

I noticed a mistake on my page after publishing. How do I revert back or unpublish?
You cannot unpublish a page once it has been published. However, you can make the correction and publish a new version. You can also use the History button (the back arrow with clock icon in red below) to pick from a list of previously published versions and publish it the replace the current version.
When using the History button to select an older version to restore, the current version is still saved as the “currently published" version. So you can restore an older version, view it, and then click the History button again to select the “currently published" version which will ‘restore’ the page to the current version.

The History popup lists all previously published versions of the page by name and user.
What is the difference between saving and publishing?
Saving will save your edits in the canvas as you are working on them. Saved edits will not show on the public website until you publish the page.
Troubleshooting: Edits to my page don't appear after I publish the page
Sometimes after editing and publishing a page the changes don't appear on the public page for the user making the edits. Doing a 'hard refresh' of your browser cache for the page should solve the issue. To do a hard refresh for Chrome, hold Ctrl (Windows) or Shift (Mac) key while clicking the reload button. For Firefox, hold the Ctrl key and press the F5 key (Windows) or hold the Shift key and click the Reload button (Mac). And for Safari, hold down the Option and Cmd keys and then press the ‘E’ key.
