This guide explains how to avoid publishing changes directly to a page in Site Creator Infomaniak.

Preamble

• The draft mode allows not to publish the following modifications:
  • addition of a new content block via the Content menu
  • visual or textual modification of a content block
  • deletion of a content block
• The draft mode does not apply to:
  • global design changes, via the Design menu (colors, fonts …)
  • content modifications related to applications (questions/answers, e-commerce …)
  • modifications of global settings, via the Settings menu (Pages, languages …)
  • subpages of the page you unpublish

Save without publishing

Prerequisites

• Access Site Creator:
  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the product in question.
  3. Click on Customize my site:
     

You can switch a page to draft mode to make text or other changes to the content of a page that will not be visible live, until you decide to switch the site back to direct publication mode:

1. Click on the button ... ‍‍‍ located at the very bottom of the left sidebar to expand the publishing and preview options
2. Click on Live to switch to Unpublished mode
3. Now, the yellow mode displayed at the bottom indicates that all your modifications (on this page only) will not be visible live (unlike the Live mode) but will be saved in a draft even if you leave the page or the editor:
   

Publish the changes or delete the draft

1. When the Unpublished mode is active, click on the yellow button of the Unpublished mode to display a settings panel.
2. The settings panel opens so that you can:
   1. publish your changes,
   2. or delete the current draft and revert the page to its initial state.

Example

1. With the Live mode (visible at the bottom of the screen) a modification is directly visible to the page's visitors.
2. With the mode Unpublished / Draft (identifiable by a yellow symbol at the bottom of pages set to this mode) your modifications are not visible live.
3. Leave the page to work on another page, the mode reverts to the default mode, that is, the Live mode because the page is not the same and the mode only applies to the selected pages.
4. Go back to the draft page, a symbol at the bottom of the page always indicates that draft mode is activated.
5. Click on it to choose to publish or delete the modifications and restore the page to its state before your changes in draft mode.
