Manage publication and draft in Site Creator
This guide explains how not to directly publish changes to a Infomaniak Site Creator page.
Draft mode
The draft mode allows not to publish the following changes:
- adding a new content block via the Content menu
- visual or textual modifications of a content block
- deleting a content block
The draft mode does not apply to:
- global design changes, via the Design menu (colors, fonts...)
- content modifications related to applications (Q&A, e-commerce...)
- global settings modifications, via the Settings menu (Pages, languages...)
- sub-pages of the page you are unpublishing
Save without publishing
You can switch a page to draft mode in order to make changes to text or other content on a page that will not be visible live, until you decide to put the site back into direct publishing mode:
- log in to the Infomaniak Manager (manager.infomaniak.com) from a web browser like Brave or Edge
- click on the icon at the top right of the interface (or navigate through the left sidebar menu for example)
- select Hosting (Web & Domain universe)
- click on the name of the relevant object in the displayed table
- click on Site Creator in the left sidebar menu
- click on Customize my site
Once in Site Creator:
- click on the ... button located at the bottom of the left sidebar menu, to expand the publication and preview options
- click on Live to switch to Unpublished mode
- now, the yellow mode displayed at the bottom indicates that all your changes (on this page only) will not be visible live (unlike Live mode) but will be saved in a draft even if you leave the page or the editor:
Publish changes or delete the draft
- when the Unpublished mode is active, click on the yellow button of the Unpublished mode to display a setting panel
- the setting panel opens so you can publish your changes
- or delete the current draft and revert to the initial state of the page
Example
- with the Live mode (visible at the bottom of the screen) a modification is directly visible to page visitors
- with the Unpublished / draft mode (identifiable by a yellow symbol at the bottom of the pages passed in this mode) your changes are not visible live
- leave the page to work on another page, the mode returns to the default mode, which is Live mode because the page is not the same and the mode only applies to the selected pages
- return to the page put in draft, a symbol at the bottom of the page always indicates the activated draft mode
- click on it to choose to publish or delete the changes and return the page to its state before your modifications in draft mode
