Each item and collection introduced in the How CMS data works have its own "status," indicating its publication status on the public site. They also hold the publification date, which you can change later or a date in the future.

Status of CMS item and collection shows the publification status on the published site.

There are four types of status, and you can change the status in the item list, item detail edit screen, and collection edit screen.

Once your website went live, CMS status changes will be applied immediately to the published site. You don't need to update your entire site each time you make changes to the items or collections.

When an item or collection is in the draft status, it will only be displayed on the live preview and not on the published site.

You can change the status of draft items to publish or schedule status.

Published items and collections are displayed on both published sites and live previews.

You can change the status of a Published item to Change to draft. By clicking the Change to draft, you can change its status to draft.

The item and collection information displayed on the public site will show the data as of the last time it was published or updated.

You can use this status to edit the published article with multiple team members while keeping the published article displayed on the public site. Once it is good to update, you can change the status to Update.

When you schedule an item to publish, the status will be Scheduled.

Scheduled items are the same as draft items until the scheduled date. They will only be displayed on the live preview and not on the public site. Scheduled items will be published at the scheduled date and time automatically and the status will be changed to Published.
