How to edit a live project and republish safely
Change an existing project in draft, compare it to the live version, and redeploy without losing track of what changed.
How to edit a live project and republish safely
Use this guide when the project is already live and you need to improve it without breaking the public path.
Safe workflow
- Open the project workspace.
- Make changes in the draft build view, not directly on faith.
- Compare draft and live when the project already has a published version.
- Test the important public actions in draft before redeploying.
- Redeploy only when the new version is clearly better or fixes the right problem.
What to verify before redeploy
- the main CTA still works
- forms, booking, or checkout still resolve
- the relevant page path is the one you actually changed
After redeploy
- open the live site
- confirm the public URL still works
- confirm the intended change is actually visible
- use analytics to watch whether the change helped or hurt
If the release goes bad
Use the workspace controls to take the project offline if needed. Treat that as a recovery step, not a normal publishing habit.
