Publishing

When you make changes to your site, they need to be published before visitors can see them. Kotisivukamu supports two publishing methods.

Published changes always appear first at the preview address {site}.kskamu.app. Automatic publishing decides whether they also go to your own domain at the same time.

Automatic publishing​

Automatic publishing is on by default. Every finished change then goes straight to your own domain.

Manual publishing​

If you want to review changes before they appear on your own domain, you can turn off automatic publishing:

  1. Go to the site's Settings page
  2. Turn off the Publish automatically switch in the Actions section

The choice is saved immediately. You also find the same switch on the overview page once a domain is connected to the site.

When automatic publishing is off:

  • Changes are visible only in the preview at {site}.kskamu.app
  • You can review changes at your own pace
  • You take the changes to your own domain with the Publish button on the overview page. A Publish button is also shown after an update from the chat

This is useful when making multiple changes at once and you want to publish them together.

Change history​

All site changes and their status are visible on the History page. You can narrow the list with the All, Builds, Studio and Publishes tabs. For each change you can see:

  • The change type, for example site creation, site change, chat change, site update or content update. Changes published from Studio show as a site update on the Publishes tab. The Studio tab shows sessions from the previous Studio.
  • Status (queued, in progress, done, failed)
  • Timestamp and duration
  • Change description

A failed update can be retried, and you can edit its instructions before the new attempt.

Restoring an older version​

The three-dot menu on a finished change's row has Restore this version. The site is restored to that version, and the changes made after it are removed from the site. They stay in the history, though, so you can return to them later. The restore shows up in the history as a new row.
