Publication Status

Know at a glance whether your published site is current or has pending changes.

Who can do this: Owners, Admins, and Editors can publish and update. Only Owners and Admins can unpublish a site. See Roles and Permissions for details.

Quick Status: The Blue Dot

A blue dot appears on the Publish button whenever you have code changes that haven’t been deployed yet. This gives you instant visibility:

• No dot – Your live site matches your workspace
• Blue dot visible – You have unpublished changes

No need to open the Publish panel just to check – the dot tells you at a glance whether your latest updates are live or still pending.

Status Indicators

Click the Publish button in the top navigation to see your current status in detail.

Keeping Track of Changes

If you’re unsure what’s changed since publishing:

1. Check Version History
2. Compare versions to see what’s different
3. Decide whether to publish the updates

Restoring Versions

To go back to an earlier state, see Rollback.

Storage Limits

Version history is retained for the life of your project. Older versions don’t consume extra storage-they’re efficiently stored as differences.
