Once you are on the new page for Publishing Settings:
Select the Preview server and/or the Live server (highlighted above in yellow).
The difference between the two servers is described below.
Click on the publish button (highlighted above in blue).
To view the page or pages you've published, load the page of your website that you've updated in your browser.
...
Once a page is unpublished, it will not be deleted, but it will no longer appear in the site's navigation and the URL will be broken.
Publishing to Preview
After you've finished building or editing your site, you have the option to preview how your changes will look prior to going "live."
...
If necessary, links to pages on the preview server can be sent to a colleague or supervisor for review before publishing changes to the live server which is available to the public.
Publishing Live
If you publish to the live server, whatever you selected to be published will be available for the public to see! The live server URL for your site starts with: "medicine.yale.edu..."

Unless making a very small change, such as fixing a typo, it is strongly recommended that you publish to the preview server prior to publishing live, in case the page does not look exactly like you want it to. This way you can review your changes before affecting the publicly accessible site. Only go "live" when you're ready and have received necessary approvals from those in your department who are involved with the site. |
Using the Publishing Queue
Immediately after sending pages or sites to be published, you can check its status in the Publishing Queue. Look for the "Publishing Queue" icon in the home tab, and click on it.
