Drafts, revisions & publishing
Save work without going live, move pages through review, and rely on a full revision history you can fall back on.
Atelier separates saving your work from taking it live.
Saving a draft never touches your live site. A page changes only when you — or a reviewer — choose to publish it. The agent never publishes on its own.
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.
Where the buttons are
The buttons that move a page sit together at the top right, and they look the same in every studio that edits a page, including Pages and Checks:
- A status badge shows where the page stands: Draft, In review, Live, Live · draft pending, or Archived. While you have unsaved edits it says so. Hover it for a short line on why editing is blocked, when it is.
- Save draft saves your edits without going live.
- One main button is the next step for this page: Publish on a draft, Submit for review if you can't publish yourself, Approve & publish for a reviewer.
- The arrow beside it opens everything else you're allowed to do, grouped as Move forward, Send back (such as Reject or Restore) and Take offline (Archive). Taking a page offline asks you to confirm first.
You only see the steps your role allows. So if Fernway's care guide is In review and you aren't a reviewer, there's no Publish button. The badge tells you it's waiting for approval.
If your site has its own review steps (a legal check, say, or translation), they appear in the same menu. The main button is always the step that takes the page live, or failing that, the next step forward.
The same state follows you into chat: ask the assistant "what pages do I have?" and the page list shows each page's state for the language you're working in, and every page thread in the sidebar carries a Draft / In review / Live marker.
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.
