# Publish Your First Page

A new page starts as a **draft**. Drafts are visible to editors but hidden from regular readers. Publishing makes the page part of the wiki for everyone with access.

## Steps

1. Open the page you want to share.
2. Read it once from top to bottom. Spelling and tone are easier to fix before publication.
3. Switch the page status from **Draft** to **Published**.

That is the whole flow. There is no separate approval step by default, so think of publishing as a soft commit, not a release.

## A small checklist before you publish

- The title says what the page is about, not how it was created.
- The first paragraph tells the reader what they will learn.
- Links to related pages exist where a reader would naturally ask **and then what**.
- Code blocks have a language hint so syntax highlighting works.
- The page has an owner or a maintaining team listed somewhere.

## After publishing

A published page can still be edited. Every save creates a new entry in the page history, so reverting an unwanted change is one click away. If a page becomes stale, set it back to **Archived** rather than deleting it, the history stays and search results can point readers to a replacement.
