Wix Editor: Saving, Previewing and Publishing Your Site

  • FAQs
Manage your site from within the editor to keep it updated, and to keep any new changes that you've made. You can save, preview, and publish your site from the editor at any time. 

Saving your site

Your site is automatically saved regularly as you are working in the editor. It starts after the first manual save on your site.   
Even with autosave, we still recommend that you save your site regularly as you are building it, to avoid losing any changes. 

To save your site:

  1. Click Save at the top right of the editor.
  2. Click Done in the pop-up window.

Previewing your site

You can preview your site without publishing it to see what it looks like to visitors. This is a great way to test how new changes and updates look before publishing them. 

To preview your site:

  1. Click Preview at the top right of the editor.
  2. Browse your site preview.
  3. Click Back to Editor to go back to the editor.

Note:
Viewing your site Preview will trigger an automatic autosave, regardless of whether autosave has been disabled.

Publishing your site

You need to publish your site for the changes to be made live on the Internet. You can publish new changes to your site at any time by clicking  Publish at the top right of the editor.
