Where to Save Your Work

Frame provides built-in mechanisms to help you save your work and avoid losing content: autosave, manual save (Save Draft), and revisions. Understanding how they work ensures your changes are stored safely and you know when your updates go live.

Updated 1 day ago

Autosave (Automatic Safety Backup)

Frame automatically autosaves your work while you are editing.

What Autosave Does:

  • Saves your work in the background as you type

  • Protects against losing progress if your computer crashes or your internet disconnects

  • Does not make your changes visible on the live website

When You’ll See Autosave:

If WordPress detects a more recent autosave, it will show a message asking if you want to Restore the autosaved version.

Use Autosave as a safety net — not your main save method.

Save Draft (Manual Save While Working)

Use Save Draft when:

  • You are still working on changes

  • You need to step away and return later

  • You don’t want the public to see your changes yet

What Save Draft Does:

  • Stores your progress

  • Keeps changes private

  • Does not update the live website

Save Draft = Saved privately (not live yet).

Publish / Update (Make Changes Live)

When your edits are ready for your website visitors to see:

  • Click Publish (for new pages or posts)

  • Click Update (for pages that already exist)

What Publish/Update Does:

  • Makes your changes visible on the live site immediately

Only use Publish/Update when you are sure the page is ready.
