Hello,

I’d like to be able select which pages to publish into a new build when using the “Publish” button so that I can de-select any pages that are still in development. Any guidelines?

Thanks!

Hi @nora 👋

It’s currently not possible to save pages as draft. All the pages are published when you publish the project.

There are two things you could do.

1- you could hide the page from Google and search engines here:

The page will still be accessible if someone has the URL but at least it will not be indexed.

2- you could also add authentication to your project and, [make the page private](https://youtu.be/q9AxyU9dpfo?t=584) so that only authenticated users with the “Web designer” role can access it:

Does that help?
