Steps

  1. Sign in with your own account, open My websites and select the website you can edit. Choose a page, content collection or news article.
  2. Change the draft, then open Preview. Wait for the update to finish. The preview uses your current edits; opening it does not save or publish them.
  3. Expand the preview and switch between phone, tablet and desktop. Scroll inside it to check headings, image crops, captions, buttons and the rest of the page.
  4. Close the expanded view with its close icon or Escape, including when the website frame has focus. Your unsaved edits remain in the editor.
  5. For content, choose the page you want to inspect. For news, inspect the current article and selected language. If an update fails, retry before treating the frame as current.
  6. Save when the draft is ready. Publish the page or article when you want visitors to see it, then open the published website to check the result.

A draft preview is private and temporary. It does not publish content or replace a final check of the public website. Supported website templates use their own renderer, so the design matches the site being edited.
