# Draft, Test, and Published Statuses

Use Workganic status labels to distinguish private edits, private review, publishing, and the current public page.

## Draft

A draft is the working version of a page. Website Builder edits autosave as drafts. A saved draft can differ from the public page and should be reviewed before publishing.

Expected verification: reopen the page in Website Builder and confirm the draft content and visible draft status.

## Private test view

**Open Test Site** opens the private test view. Use it to review page structure, content, forms, links, search details, accessibility, and desktop and mobile layout before publishing.

Expected verification: confirm that the test view shows the intended draft and is not being mistaken for the public page.

## Published

For a standard marketing page, **Save Changes** publishes the current saved draft. For a Documentation page, **Review & Publish** asks you to confirm the public-content review for that exact draft before Workganic publishes it. Any later documentation edit requires a new review. A page labeled **Published** has a public version, but the published page must still be opened and checked after the action.

Expected verification: select **Open Published Page**, confirm the public path, and repeat the important content, link, form, and mobile checks.

## History and restore

**History** lists saved versions. Loading a prior page or block version places that content into the draft. It does not become public until the page's visible publish action is completed: **Save Changes** for a standard marketing page or **Review & Publish** for a Documentation page.

Expected verification: review the restored draft in **Open Test Site** before deciding whether to publish it.

## Discard

**Discard** abandons draft changes and returns the editor to the published page. Read the confirmation carefully because draft edits can be replaced.

Expected verification: compare the editor with **Open Published Page** and confirm that the unwanted draft is no longer active.

## Status rule

Treat draft saved, private review passed, publish action completed, and published page verified as four different facts. Report only the facts you have directly confirmed.
