Pro Tip:
Select the 'Archived' publication state to hide a page or content item from public view, navigations and the site search.
What is Versioning?
SiteMasonry's versioning workflow allows content to be modified in an un-published Draft state without changing the publically viewable (Published) version of the page or content item (news item, profile, or program).
When an Editor makes content changes, SiteMasonry creates a 'pre-published' Draft version of the page or content item alongside a copy of the current published page or content item. Each version can be viewed or retrieved on the page or item’s Revisions tab.
SiteMasonry's Publication States
SiteMasonry utilizes three publication states - Draft, Published, and Archive
The Publication State selector is located near the bottom of the page or item's 'Edit Settings' screen
Draft
The Draft state allows an editor to make changes to a page without modifying currently published content. When a page is in Draft mode, the last published version of the page is viewable by site visitors. Once the page is re-published from Draft mode, a new version of the page is created. The new, published version of the page is 'live' and viewable to site visitors.
Published
A Published page is the most recent version of a page. It is 'live' and viewable to site visitors.
Archive
The Archive page state un-publishes the page or content item, removes the item from the navigation menu, and hides the page from site viewers. This state only appears as an option when a page or content item is in a Published state.
