What is a site update?
Sites built with Studio.Design can be edited and updated after they're published. Pushing the latest edits from your project to your live site is called a "site update."
Note: Your changes won't appear on the live site until you run an update.
What gets updated depends on what you edit
The target of an update depends on what you've edited.
Type of edit and action | What gets updated |
Edits and updates made in the editor | Updates the site itself. |
Edits and updates made in the CMS dashboard | Changes the status of CMS items. For details, see CMS Status and Publish Date > How to change CMS status. |
Important: When you update your site, edits across all pages in the project are published at once. Updating individual pages isn't currently supported.
