Publish or unpublish pages & sections
Pages default to public when they're first created. You have the option to unpublish a page if you don't want it visible to the public (sometimes used for content review). You can also unpublish paragraphs on a page, leaving the page published (sometimes used to see layout or for content review). Sections (i.e. rows) cannot be unpublished as a whole row. You have to unpublish each paragraph in that row.
Publish/Unpublish pages
- To unpublish a page, scroll to the very bottom by the Save button.
- Right above the Save button is the publish checkbox. Uncheck that box and Save.
Unpublish sections
- To unpublish a paragraph, edit the paragraph.
- Scroll to the bottom of the paragraph.
- Right above the Save button is the publish checkbox. Uncheck that box and Save.
Bulk Editing Content
Bulk editing allows you to modify multiple pages at once. The modifications will be the same for all the content you select to bulk edit.
The most common use of this feature is adding taxonomy terms to pages (for example, tagging a group of people as "Faculty") or unpublishing many items at once.
