  Hello, working on webpage. When I am updated the page it looks great in the customize screen. However, when I save draft and look in the normal ‘visit site’ from dashboard it does not show any of the changes save when working on the ‘customize tab’. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please and thank you.

  Hello! Thank you for your response. I have only clicked “save draft”. If i click “Publish” would that make the website live? because if it does make the website live-I am not ready to have it live.
  Please advise. and thanks again!

  hi,

  It will not make it live. It will save the Customizer changes only.

  @ simplymessyblog I thought I’d share, if you’d like you can make the site private. That’s under My Site > Settings > Privacy .

  That way you can “publish” your pages and posts and design changes, but only you (and staff, if you need help, as well as any users you invite) will be able to see your site.
