Working with drafts

When using Geins CMS, you have the ability to create drafts, allowing you to develop your content without immediately publishing it live on your webshop.

The draft feature allows you to work on content in advance, preview changes, and ensure everything looks right before going live. Drafts can be created from scratch or from an existing page.

Example: Updating the Start Page

If you want to update your start page but preview the changes first, follow these steps:

1. Create a Draft:

   • Go to your live start page.
   • Click Create Draft > Create Draft for this Collection
     
     
     
     

2. Make Changes:

   • You now have a draft identical to your live page. Make the changes you want.
     
     

3. Preview the Draft:

   • Use the Preview button to see how your changes will appear.
   • If you have content with specific publication dates/times, use the Set Spoofed Date and Time feature to preview how the page will look at that exact time.
     
     

4.  Publish the Draft:

• When you're ready to go live, click Save and Publish. You will have two options:
  • Publish and Delete: This publishes the draft and deletes the current live version.
  • Publish and Convert: This publishes the draft and converts the live version into a new draft.
  • Choose your preferred option and publish your content!
