How Publishing Works in the PhotoBiz Website Builder

The PhotoBiz Website Builder does not require you to manually publish your website. Any changes you make to your pages, blocks, or design settings are automatically saved and applied to your live website as you make them.

This guide explains how automatic updates work, when visitors can see your changes, and why search engines like Google may not reflect updates right away. Understanding this process can help prevent confusion if you are looking for a publish button or wondering why changes appear differently in certain situations.

STEP ONE

Understand That There Is No Publish Button

The PhotoBiz Website Builder uses automatic saving and live updates. There is no publish button in the Website Builder. Any changes you make are saved automatically and applied to your live website in real time.

As soon as you update a page, block, or design setting, that change is live on your website.

If you want to work on pages without displaying them publicly, you can copy an existing page or create a new page and set it to Hidden Page status. This allows you to design and preview the page without it appearing on your live website.

STEP TWO

Know When Visitors Can See Your Changes

Because changes are applied automatically, visitors can see updates immediately after they are made. You may need to refresh your browser to view the latest version of the page.

To confirm what visitors see, you can open your website in a private or incognito browser window. If you are logged into your PhotoBiz account, the editor view may look slightly different from the public view.

STEP THREE

Understand Why You Might Not See Changes Right Away

In some cases, it may appear as though changes are not showing. This is usually caused by normal viewing behavior rather than an issue with your website.

Common reasons include browser caching, switching between desktop and mobile views, or the page not refreshing completely. Refreshing the page, clearing your browser cache, or viewing the site in an incognito window typically resolves this.

STEP FOUR

Know How Google and Search Engines Handle Updates

Even though your website updates immediately for visitors, search engines work differently. Google does not update search results instantly.

Changes to your website may take days or weeks to appear in search results. Submitting your sitemap helps Google discover updates, but it does not force immediate changes. This is normal behavior and does not indicate a problem with your website.

FINAL STEP

Know When to Contact Support

If you have refreshed your browser and confirmed your changes in a private window but still believe something is not updating correctly, our support team can help investigate further.
