What is a site update?
Sites built with Studio.Design can be edited and updated after publishing. Applying the latest changes from your project to your live site is called a "site update."
Point: Your changes won't appear on the live site until you run an update.
What gets updated depends on what you edit
The scope of an update depends on where you made your changes.
Where you edited and updated | What gets updated |
Editing and updating in the editor | Updates the site itself. |
Editing and updating in the CMS dashboard | Changes the status of CMS items. For details, see CMS status and publish date > How to change CMS status. |
Note: When you update your site, changes to every page in the project are published at once. Updating individual pages isn't supported at this time.
How to update your site

Click [Publish] in the top right to open the publish panel.
