Publishing a page
Once your page is ready to go live, you'll need to publish it to your website. This will make all of the content on the page visible to the public. Make sure to edit your content and save all of the changes you've made before publishing.
Publish from Page Editor
If you are editing or writing a page and would like to publish your work directly from the Page Editor, click the “Publish Page” icon located on the Main Toolbar.
Once you click the Publish Page button, the Publishing Page pop-up box will open. Here, you will see a variety of different publishing options.
Publish from the Page List
You can also publish a page from the back end of i:Create. To do this, select “Page List” from the i:Create Utility Bar located at the top of the page. You can choose the page or pages you want to publish from the Page List by clicking the checkbox next to each page you'd like to publish.
A toolbar will appear at the top of the Page List. Select the “Publish” button and the Publish Selected Page(s) pop-up box will open showing a variety of different publishing options.
