Saving a draft as a concept

    Hi all,
    Using the Customizer editor after a few years away from WordPress, and some things are still perplexing me.

    Once I’ve published a page, I’m not clear how to save a change to it without publishing it. I know Autosave exists (though I don’t see an alert telling me when the last Autosave occurred), and I can exit the browser tab and come back to it later and be prompted to restore the autosaved page, but I feel like there must be a more clearcut way to create saved drafts. I’ve checked the help and it’s not obvious to me.

    Any steps most appreciated. I can try using the non-Customizer mode (where I can still simply use the dropdown to switch from Published to Draft) but I’d love to stay in the “improved” editor and understand better how it works.

    Thanks!

    Hi Dana,

    I think I understand what you’re trying to accomplish. Please check out this image.

    Customize Save Draft

    There is a little gear button next to the published button when you made a change. Click on that and you can save it as Draft or Schedule a date for the change to apply.

    Please do not hesitate to ask any questions you still have.
