Design pages with Studio

# Preview and publish

6 min

Changes in Studio go live only after publishing. This lesson shows how pages and drafts from content collections are checked in the preview before publishing, how publishing works and how to see that the change has arrived. This completes the Studio chapter.

## Key takeaways

- The preview shows drafts before publishing.
- Publishing is a deliberate step taken by a person.
- After publishing, check the live page.

  Studio saves changes as a draft and shows them instantly in the live preview. Publish in the top bar takes the saved state to the storefront through a deployment of the environment.

  With the project's content preview token, the real storefront shows unpublished content instead of published content. The token is used by the open preview link in project settings, the Studio command Show preview content or the URL parameter preview\_token.
