Publishing a Page
Publishing your content in Drupal is very easy. Once published, content pushes to your site immediately.
Page Statuses
There are several page states available in Drupal, including Draft, Published and Archived.
To Publish
When publishing a page, simply switch the page’s current state to “Published” in the authoring sidebar of a page. Then, click Save.
To Unpublish & Archive
When unpublishing a page, simply switch the page’s current state to “Archive” in the authoring sidebar of a page. Then, click Save. To access an archived page, go to the Content library, adjust the Moderation State to “Archived” and apply the Filter.
Share a Draft Link
If you’re working on a Draft of a new page, you’ll have the option to generate a shareable token to the draft page. This allows people who do not have access to Drupal to view the page with a staging link.
The Temporary unpublished access drop down in the authoring sidebar will only be available if you’re creating a new page that’s in a Draft state.
To generate a token, first expand the Temporary unpublished access option. Choose the Lifetime of the shareable link — you may only want people to access the link for a set period of time. Then, click Generate token. Once generated, a new line item will appear in the table above. Click the Copy button under Operations and paste the link into a new window to test. This link is now shareable to anyone who has it.
