Publishing
What goes live when you publish, what updates on its own, switching templates, and taking your website offline.
Your website has a draft, which the editor saves automatically as you work, and a published version that visitors see. Editing never changes the live website until you publish.
What needs publishing
| Updates on its own, within about a minute | Needs Publish |
|---|---|
| Activities you publish, hide or rename | Template, colours, fonts and logo |
| Prices, durations and photos | Text you write, headlines and settings |
| Contact details from your location settings | Sections you add, move or remove |
| Guest reviews you show or hide | Pages you add, rename or remove, and the menu |
| Categories | Header, footer, search listings and tracking |
Publishing
Click Publish in the editor toolbar. The dialog lists what will change, for example "About", "Private tours (new page)" or "Design and site settings". Click Publish to confirm. Visitors see the update within about a minute.
If something needs fixing first, such as a spotlight section without an activity, the editor lists it above the preview and publishing waits until it is fixed. Your draft is saved either way.
Switching templates
Template settings > Template switches your draft between Plain and Harbor. Your pages, sections, text and settings all carry over; a colour preset the other template doesn't have changes to that template's default. The live website keeps the old template until you publish.
Taking your website offline
Unpublish website, at the bottom of the settings panel, takes your website offline while keeping your draft. Pages can stay visible for up to a minute while caches clear. Publish again to bring it back.
If your website is disabled
Resytech support can disable a website, for example while a problem is investigated. A disabled website is offline and can't be edited. Contact support to restore it; it comes back as a draft, ready for you to review and publish.
