How to Manage Drafts of Parts Pages

This article how Drafts work for unpublished Pages created using Page Builder and how to create, view, manage, and delete them.

You must belong to a User Group with the Publisher permission enabled to access the Content module in the Documoto Admin Center

A draft is an editable copy of a Parts Page that allows updates to be made without changing the published version.

When a Parts Page is in a draft status, two version exist:

Drafts are not user-specific - any Publisher cam access, edit, or publish them
A Draft remains in Draft status until it is published
Drafts allow Publishers to stage updates and control when changes go live in the Library

Drafts are created when:

A Publisher creates a new Parts Page, but has not yet published it
A Publisher user opens an existing Parts Page with the intention of making edits such as; updating the BOM, Illustration(s), and/or Hotpoint(s), but has not yet published the changes.

If a Parts Page has a Draft, a Draft status will appear

In the Page Manager (Admin Center > Content > Pages)
In the Parts Page Viewer, the top right corner shows Draft status, last updated date, and responsible user (First & Last Name)

A Parts Page will remain in Draft status until it is published

For complete instructions on how to create a Parts Page, please refer to: How to Create a Parts Page

In Admin Center, go to Content > Pages
Select a Page with a Draft status
Click Page Builder
Click Publish
You will be redirected to Page Viewer
While publishing, Documoto will display the following message: Page Publishing Job in progress
Once complete, the published version replaces the old one in the Library

Deleting a Draft permanently removes all unpublished edits or updates
