Publish a page

Everything on the site that staff write follows one workflow: draft, submit for approval, then publish.

Write and submit (editors)​

  1. Open the page, or add a new one, from Documents & forms or the content list.
  2. Write in the editor. It only offers what the site allows, so pasted fonts and scripts are removed when you save.
  3. Choose Save draft to keep working, or Save and submit for approval when it is ready.

The accessibility panel under the text shows problems as you go. See Accessibility checks while you write.

Review (approvers)​

Open the submitted item. The Publishing box offers:

  • Publish to put it live now, or Schedule to set a date and time. Cancel the schedule takes a scheduled item back.
  • Return with this note to send it back to the editor with a message saying what to change.

When you edit a page that is already live, your change is held until an approver approves it. The live page stays as it was until then.

Take a page down​

An approver can choose Unpublish. The page is no longer public, and you can publish it again later.

Undo a change​

Every save is kept with who made it and when. Open the page's history and choose Restore this version. A restore goes through approval like any other edit.
