Guides: Change a guide's status to Published, Unpublished, or Private
While editing your guide, the Edit Guide button will display the current publication status of your guide. Here's a brief overview of each status:
Status | Visible to the public? | Included in guide lists on homepage? | Included in search results? |
---|---|---|---|
Unpublished | No | No | No |
Private | Yes, but only if they know the guide's URL | No | No |
Published | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Submit for Review | CMS only: this status is used in the Publishing Workflow to notify reviewers that a guide needs to be reviewed. New guides, pages, and boxes can only be published by a reviewer. |
Guide type and group assignment can affect public visibility: some guide types and group types can impact who can view your guide. Learn more in: How publication status, guide type, & group type affect a guide's visibility.
