Saving as a draft
When you save an experience as a draft, you can preview it without exposing it to your site visitors.
A campaign can have draft status only if it does not have any active experiences. In other words, if your campaign has one experience that is saved as a draft and one that is active, the campaign’s status is active.
To activate an experience that is currently saved as a draft, edit the experience and change the status to Active in the Status tab.
Publishing
When you publish a campaign, the publication process begins, as indicated by the arrow icon next to the campaign name.
The stages of the publication process include:
- Preparation: A validation and preparation stage that lasts up to 90 seconds, during which the campaign is not viewable.
- Publication: The campaign is viewable by you and other logged in users, but is not yet served to site visitors. This stage can take several minutes.
- Finalization: The campaign is fully published and available to all of your visitors. The publication process icons are removed.
Note: If you are using your own [custom] CDN, the time it takes to publish is defined in your CDN configuration.
