Drafts, revisions & publishing

Atelier separates saving your work from taking it live.

Save draft vs. Publish

Two actions, two very different effects:

• Save draft records a forward revision of your work without touching the live site. Your in-progress Fernway Botanical Studio spring-sale page is saved, but visitors still see the current version.
• Publish saves the page as a node, creates a revision, gives you its URL, and takes it live. The published page renders chrome-free at its own address.

Publishing a brand-new page also wraps up the conversation, since the work that thread set out to do is done.

Review states

Beyond draft and publish, a page moves through review states with explicit transitions:

• Submit for review — hand a draft to a reviewer.
• Approve & publish — a reviewer accepts the page and takes it live.
• Reject — send it back for changes.
• Archive — retire a page from the live site.
• Restore — bring an archived page back.

A status badge always shows where a page stands — Live, draft pending, In review, or Archived — with a short line explaining why editing is blocked when it is. So if Fernway's care guide is In review, you know at a glance why you can't edit it right now.

A history you can fall back on

Every publish creates a revision, so your page carries a history. If a change doesn't land the way you hoped, you have earlier versions to fall back on rather than a single overwrite-in-place copy.

Reusable blocks

You can also author reusable blocks — sections-only fragments you place by reference across many pages. A Fernway "Visit the shop" block, for instance, can appear on every care guide, and updating the block updates it everywhere it's referenced. Blocks follow the same draft/publish lifecycle as pages, so nothing changes on your live pages until you publish the block.
