Creating Draft Versions of Published Articles with Working Copy

When you're editing an article that's already Published, you'll probably want to make a bunch of changes at once without disturbing the current version.

This is super useful when you're launching a new feature and updating lots of articles at once, making large changes to a single article, or if you need someone to review the changes you've made before they go live.

We've built Working Copy to make this easy.

Creating a Working Copy

1

Write your draft article

When you're writing your draft article, you'll notice the Save button becomes solid and is clickable.

2

Click the Save button to create a Working Copy

When you have an article that's already published, clicking Save will not publish your article. It'll create a Working Copy.

You can also use the keyboard shortcut ⌘/Ctrl + S to save a Working Copy.

3

When you're ready to publish your article, hit Publish

Publishing the article promotes the current Working Copy and makes the changes live.

What happens to Working Copies?

Your Working Copy is saved automatically and will remain available until you either publish it or discard it. You can navigate away from the article and come back later. Your Working Copy will still be there waiting for you.
