Set page as a draft

Set a page as a draft when you want it to be something other than searchable or on the live site. Once the site is published or republished, it will not exist on the live site.

To set a page as a draft:

1. In the left panel, click Pages.

2. Click the settings icon for the specific page.

3. Click Set as a draft. If the page is in the navigation, it will be removed.

4. Click Republish to remove the page from the live site.

To "un-draft" a page:

1. In the left panel, click Pages.

2. Click the settings icon for the specific page.

3. Click Stage draft for publish. It will be added back to the navigation.

4. Click Republish to add the page to the live site.

Note

• The home page, external-link pages, and folders cannot be drafted.
• After setting a page as a draft, the draft icon will appear next to a drafted page in page pickers and selectors (link pickers, the page drop-down selector in the top toolbar, and membership).
• If a main navigation item with sub-pages is Set as a draft, the sub-pages will no longer be accessible.

Multi-language sites:

• When drafting a page in the default language, the page will be drafted in the additional languages as well.
• The same page cannot be added to the next publish until the page in the default language is added to the next publish as well.
• Pages in the additional languages can be drafted without depending on the default language’s status.
