# Publish, schedule and take offline

> Put a page live now or at a set time, take it offline, and go back to an earlier version.

## Publish now

1. Choose **Publish**.
2. Read the publish check: what changed, and anything that blocks it, such as missing alt text or an image without consent.
3. Confirm. The page is live, and the website shows it within about a minute.

If a page is **Live · edited**, the website still shows the last published version until you publish again.

To publish many at once, tick them in the Pages list or a collection and choose **Publish**, or choose **Publish all** to publish everything that is not live yet. You see the list before anything goes live.

## Schedule

1. Open the arrow next to **Publish** and choose **Schedule…**.
2. Pick **Publish** or **Take offline**, then the date and time in the region's time zone.
3. Save. The page shows **Scheduled** and goes live on time, even if nobody is signed in.

## Take a page offline

Open the arrow next to **Publish** and choose **Unpublish**. You can send visitors to another page so the old address keeps working, which also creates a redirect.

## Go back to an earlier version

Choose **Version history** from the same menu to compare any earlier version with your draft, side by side on the real website, and restore it. Restoring creates a new version, so nothing is lost. See [Compare and restore versions](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/cms/editors/version-history/).

## Promote to another environment

When a page is ready in Staging, **Promote to › Production** copies it live there. Production may need an Administrator, depending on your role.

Promoting copies the published version: its content, SEO, name and address, including the slug, a custom address and the folder it is in. Folders that do not exist in the other environment yet are created. If the address changed since the last promotion, the old one redirects to the new one there, as when you move a published page. If another page in that environment already uses the address, nothing is promoted until you move or delete that page there.

> **Tip:** To put several pages live at the same moment, use a [release](https://docs.bifrostorbit.com/cms/editors/releases/) instead of scheduling each one.
