Previewing and submitting pages for moderation¶
The Save/Submit for moderation menu is always present at the bottom of the page edit/creation screen. The menu allows you to perform the following actions, dependent on whether you are an editor, moderator or administrator:
Save draft: Saves your current changes but doesn’t submit the page for moderation and so won’t be published. (all roles)
Submit to Moderators approval: Saves your current changes and submits the page for moderation. The page will then enter a moderation workflow: a set of tasks which, when all are approved, will publish the page (by default, depending on your site settings). This button may be missing if the site administrator has disabled moderation, or hasn’t assigned a workflow to this part of the site. (all roles)
Publish/Unpublish: Clicking the Publish button will publish this page. Clicking the Unpublish button will take you to a confirmation screen asking you to confirm that you wish to unpublish this page. If a page is published it will be accessible from its specific URL and will also be displayed in site search results. (moderators and administrators only)
Other common page actions are available in the Actions dropdown, at the top of the screen.
Page previews¶
To access Wagtail’s page preview, head over to the Preview side panel. A live-updating preview shows to the right of the page in Mobile mode, and it can be opened in a new tab displaying the page as it would look if published.
