The difference between the two servers is described below.

editing pages, you will most often publish from the Page view by clicking on Publish Content. The pop-up will allow you to select Preview Only, Live and Preview, or, if previously published to Preview Only, to Live Only. You will also have the option to publish now or schedule your publishing for a future date and time. (See below).

...
If you had the page open before publishing, you'll have to use the browser Refresh or Reload button to see the updated page.

Each publication website or page can be tested on the staging server by publishing to preview and then visiting the preview URL beginning with: "preview.yale.edu...". If you are currently looking at the live version of your site which starts with "medicine.yale.edu" in the URL, you can access the preview version of the page by replacing "medicine" in the URL with "preview". A list of URLs for YSM websites can be found here. |
...
The general public does not have access to the preview/staging server . Only users on the Yale network or using Yale VPN can view the preview server.as it requires CAS Login.
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.

Whenever you publish to the live server, you should also check off and publish to Preview as well. This will prevent your preview site from becoming out of date. |
...
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.
