# Publishing

> Draft vs published pages and view live

Pages can be **draft** or **published**. Only **published** pages are visible on your organization's public website.

## Draft vs published

* **Draft**: The page exists and you can edit it, but it is not visible at its URL on the public site. Visiting the URL may show 404 or a not found message.
* **Published**: The page is live. Anyone with the URL can view it.

## Publish a page

1. Open the page in the [page editor](/website/page-editor).
2. In the root (page) properties or the header, find **Status** or **Published**.
3. Set to **Published** (or click **Publish**) and **Save**. The page goes live at its [slug](/website/slugs-and-urls) URL.

## Unpublish (set back to draft)

* In the same place, set **Status** to **Draft** (or **Unpublish**) and save. The page is no longer visible on the public site; the URL will 404 or show a not-found page. You can edit and publish again later.

## View live

* In the page editor or Pages list, use **View live** (or **Preview**) to open the public URL in a new tab. This only works for **published** pages; for drafts you may see a preview mode or a message that the page is not published.

Publishing is immediate. Double-check content and links before publishing. Unpublish if you need to fix something.
