Save, preview, and publish your work

Distinguish unsaved canvas edits, saved drafts, public preview links, restricted review links, and published destinations.

A page can look correct on the editor canvas without that version being saved or published. Check the editor’s state and the action you are taking instead of assuming every change autosaves or remains private.

Understand the different surfaces

Surface	What it is for
Editor canvas	Making and inspecting changes in the current editing session.
Saved draft	Preserving the page’s working content without publishing that draft as a live campaign destination.
Preview Link	A read-only page preview that does not require sign-in. Treat it as a shareable link, not an access-controlled review.
Share/review link	Review and comments for workspace members and invited reviewers.
Published URL	The destination shoppers reach through a direct URL, Smart Link, or experiment.

Save a draft

When a draft has unsaved page changes, the editor shows Unsaved changes and Save Changes. Use that action and wait for it to complete before leaving or sharing the preview.

The current canvas can contain changes that an external preview link has not loaded. Save first, reopen the preview, and verify what the recipient will actually see.

Code mode and dedicated Global Section editing have their own scoped save actions. Finish those operations deliberately rather than assuming a page-level save means every separate source was handled the same way.

Test a preview

Use the editor’s preview controls to test interactions without selecting the underlying elements. Use Share → Preview Link to copy or open the read-only external preview.

Check mobile and desktop, links, selectors, modals, and purchasing controls. Do not distribute the preview as the campaign’s live URL.

Tracking Custom Scripts can be intentionally excluded from Preview. Native Shopify Pages also run in a different theme/cart environment. Verify analytics and integrations on the actual published destination before launch.

Publish deliberately

Open Publish, review the destination and state shown, and confirm publication only when the page is ready for shoppers. Publishing can save pending page edits as part of the operation.

For native Shopify Pages, use the Shopify publication controls and verify the resulting /pages/ URL. Do not treat a Jurni preview and a Shopify publication as the same rendered environment.

See Publishing overview and Shopify Pages setup for destination-specific steps.

Be careful when entering comments

If you enter Comment mode with unsaved changes, Jurni asks what to do first. For a draft, the prompt offers saving. For an already published experience, the prompt can offer Publish, Discard, or Keep editing.

On a published experience, selecting Publish in this prompt can publish your pending changes. It is not merely a private “save before commenting.” Choose Keep editing when the changes are not ready, or Discard only when you intend to remove those local edits.

Settings and shared sources have a different scope

Some editor Settings controls save directly: for example, changing Enable Cart or Enable SEO sends a configuration update immediately. Other settings use their own Save action. Do not assume every setting remains a private unsaved canvas edit until publication. See Page settings.

Saving a Global Section changes a shared source. Updating product data or shop-level integrations is also a different operation from editing one page draft. Review those scopes independently before changing a live campaign.

If you need to recover

Use Undo/redo for current-session edits. Use version history for available published snapshots. Restoring a version is not the same as opening a read-only preview of it.
