🔍 Overview
After making visual edits in Website Studio, the publish button may not update as expected after edits are made and saved. This can prevent you from republishing your site. This article explains what is happening and what to do next.
⚙️ Why This Happens
This is a known issue with the Website Studio publish button. After making visual edits, the publish button state does not always update correctly, which means the interface may continue to show Published even when edits have been made. As a result, the republish option may appear unavailable.
✅ What to Try
If your publish button is not updating after visual edits, try the following steps:
- Refresh the page: After completing your edits, refresh your browser and return to Website Studio to see if the publish button state has updated.
- Re-enter the editor: Navigate away from Website Studio and then return to your project. Re-opening the project can prompt the system to re-evaluate the publish state.
- Make a minor additional edit: Inside the visual editor, make a small secondary change and save. This may trigger the publish button to become active again.
- Try a different browser: If the issue persists, open Website Studio in a different browser to rule out a local caching problem.
