Update Published Site

1 min read

Push changes to your live site after making edits in your workspace.

Keep your live site current by pushing updates when you are ready.

Pro feature: Publishing and updating your site requires a Pro plan. Compare plans to learn more.

How Updates Work

Your workspace and published site are separate:

  • Workspace – Where you build and refine
  • Published site – What visitors see

Changes in your workspace do not affect the published site until you explicitly update.

Pushing Updates

  1. Make changes in your workspace
  2. Preview and verify everything looks right
  3. Click Publish in the top navigation
  4. Click Update to push changes live

Update vs. Publish

  • Publish – First time going live
  • Update – Subsequent changes to an already-published site

Both use the same Publish button. Sticklight knows whether to publish or update based on your site status.

What Gets Updated

Everything syncs to your published site:

  • Page content and structure
  • Styles and design changes
  • New pages or removed pages
  • Database schema changes (if using Sticklight Cloud)

Rollback Option

If you publish something you did not intend, use Version History to revert to a previous version, then update again.

Best Practices

  • Preview thoroughly before updating
  • Test on mobile via responsive preview
  • Check forms and interactive elements work
  • Update during low-traffic times if your site has regular visitors
