Getting Started with Frame

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.

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)

When to Use Save Draft:

  • 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.
