Open the Publishing Page

From the left navigation menu, select Publishing.

If your site has unpublished changes, a yellow notification banner will appear at the top of the dashboard. This banner lets you know that updates are waiting to be published and includes a Publish Changes button that takes you directly to the Publishing page.

Changes made in NexCite Connect will not appear on your live site until they have been published.
