We’re excited to announce a series of improvements to CMS workflows designed to give you more flexibility, clarity, and control over how you create, edit, and publish content in Webflow.

As we previewed at Webflow Conference this year, you can now save draft changes to existing published CMS items, keeping them in a work-in-progress state until you're ready to publish —eliminating the risk of any updates unintentionally going live. Additionally, you can now publish individual CMS items to all domains without needing to publish the entire site.

What’s New?

1. Edits to any published CMS items will be saved in a new “Draft changes” state without impacting your live content. Your changes will remain in this state until you're ready to publish.
2. Single CMS item publishing to all domains is now supported without restrictions — even in cases where the data schema, site design, or staging domain have been changed.
3. CMS item preview links are now accessible directly from the CMS item view, making it simpler to share and review with external stakeholders.

As part of this release, we’ve also made some updates to CMS item statuses:

• CMS Template pages now include the item’s status in the top navigation – and it’s clickable, so you can quickly update the CMS item status directly from the visual canvas.
• “Stage to Publish” has been renamed to “Queued to publish”, which functions the same way — marking items to be included in the next site publish.
• “Draft changes” is the new state for edits to published items that are saved but not live.

These CMS draft and publishing improvements are now available to all workspaces and site plans. To learn more about the CMS item publishing workflow changes, visit our Help Center.

Developers using our CMS API can find these changes in the beta namespace endpoint, and see minor updates in API documentation pertaining to the new “Draft changes” item state. Developers can test these updates via the beta API with an expected broader rollout planned for early 2025.
