# Save, Preview, and Publish

# Getting Started

Saving, Previewing, and Publishing are three features with separate functionalities. Saving lets you save your work in progress without publishing it to the site. Preview takes you to your website and lets you view it externally.


# Save, Preview, and Publish

When you are on the builder, always remember to save your work. To save and publish your website, you should press the `Save` and `Publish` buttons, respectively.

|  `Saving` and `Publishing` are different features. Once you save your work, it will resume from where you left off; when you publish your work, it will be updated on the website for visitors.



### Saving your website

To save your website, click the `Save` button in the **top navigation bar** of your site dashboard. This will save your progress.
