When you save a page you've just edited, it saves as a draft. It is not publicly available on your website unless you "Publish" it or "Save and Publish" it.
This means that visitors will see the page without the latest changes, and you have a chance to keep working on changing it further.
In Composite C1, you can view the "saved"/ "unpublished" page as well as preview the page while editing without actually saving it.
Viewing an unpublished page in C1 Console
To view a draft of a page:
- In the Content perspective, select the page you want to see as a draft.
- Click Browse Saved Page on the toolbar.
The draft version of the page will open in a separate tab in the editor area of the C1 Console.
Alternatively, you can right-click the page and select Browse Saved Page in the shortcut menu.
Previewing unsaved changes
When you are editing a page, you are not necessarily supposed to save the page to preview the changes.
To view unsaved changes while editing a page:
- Click the Preview tab.
Viewing an unpublished page in the browser
By adding a specific parameter to the page URL opened in the browser, you can view its unpublished version rather than the published one.
To view an unpublished page in the browser:
- Open the page in your web browser.
- Append "/c1mode(unpublished)" to the URL, for example, http://<your_website>/Some-Page/c1mode(unpublished).
- Press ENTER.
The page will reload as the unpublished one.
