Build your website
Publish useful articles and updates
Write a post, choose its address and cover, recover earlier text, and publish it with the website.
- Who this helps
- Site Owners, Admins, and Editors.
- Before starting
- Use a site with post pages, or ask Launch to add a blog or updates section.
- Done when
- The saved article appears correctly on the published website and its list page.
01
Start from the Posts tab
Open Site overview → Posts. Search or filter the list to find an existing article, or create a new post.
The writing editor separates the article from the site's page layout. Changing the layout still belongs in the website editor.
- Enter the Title and Description.
- Choose a cover image from the site's media when useful.
- Write the article and use the formatting controls for headings, lists, links, and media.
- Open Preview to inspect the article.
02
Set its address, date, and category
Post settings contains Address, Publish date, and Category. The initial address comes from the title until someone changes it.
The address becomes fixed after the first save. Check it before saving so existing links remain stable.
Publish date controls the date and order shown in the list. It is not a scheduled-send control or proof that the article is live.
- Choose a short, descriptive address before the first save.
- Set the intended date.
- Choose an existing category or name a new one.
- Check the cover and description in Preview.
03
Save the post, then publish the site
Select Save or use Command+S on Mac and Control+S on Windows. All changes saved confirms that the article reached the server.
Unsaved changes may be kept in the current browser, but that is not a server save or a copy available on another device.
- Select Save and wait for confirmation.
- Return to the site's preview and inspect the article and list page.
- Publish the website.
- Open the live article and test its links.
If the browser says it cannot keep a copy, keep the tab open until Save succeeds. Do not rely on closing and reopening it.
04
Recover a draft or earlier version
An unsaved-draft notice can offer Restore them or Discard. Read the notice if another tab or person saved a newer version.
The post's History keeps earlier saved versions. Restoring one changes the saved post; publish the website to update visitors.
- Save or deliberately discard current edits before restoring history.
- Open the post's History and select the intended version.
- Check the restored article.
- Publish only after the recovered content is correct.
A formatting warning means the editor cannot preserve part of the stored format. Read it before saving; the previous saved version remains in history.
