# Edit, publish or delete a post

Find a post in the list of blog posts, change its text or its details, publish or unpublish it, schedule it with a publishing date, and archive or delete it.

Once written, a post is kept up to date from the site and from its form: you change it, put it online or take it down, date it later, and archive or delete it. Writing one is explained in [Write a blog post](write-a-blog-post).

## Before you start {#before-you-start}

You need the **Editor and Designer** access right on **Website**.

## Find a post {#find}

Open **Website/Site/Content/Blog Posts**. The list shows the posts of the current website, with their address, **Author** and **Is Published**; remove the website filter in the search bar to see those of every website. The search groups them by **Blog**, **Author** or **Last Contributor**, and the **Archived** filter finds archived posts. The kanban view shows each post's date with a publish switch.

Clicking a row opens the post on the site.

## Edit a post {#edit}

On the post's page, click **Edit**, change the text or the cover, then click **Save**. For the title, subtitle, tags, author or date, click **Blog Post** at the top to open its form (the cog on a phone). A new title changes the post's address, and the old address sends visitors to the new one.

## Publish or unpublish {#publish}

The switch at the top of the post's page shows its state. On a phone, the switch sits at the top without its label.

![A new post opens on the site, unpublished; the switch at the top publishes it.](https://jaah.app/web/image/17274-895651fb/website-edit-publish-or-delete-a-post-new_post_on_site-en.png)

Click **Unpublished**: it turns to **Published**, and visitors find the post on its blog.

![Published; visitors now find the post on the blog.](https://jaah.app/web/image/17276-b1330424/website-edit-publish-or-delete-a-post-post_live-en.png)

When a post is published:

- without a publishing date, or with a date already past, it is dated the moment you publish it;
- the followers of its blog receive a message announcing it, at once, even when its date is later.

**Unpublished** takes the post back to editors only; its link then shows visitors a page that is not found. A past publishing date is cleared: the post shows its creation date until it is published again, then the day of that new publication.

To publish several posts, tick them in the list and choose **Actions**, **Publish**, then **Ok** in **Publish Website Content**. **Unpublish** works the same way, without a confirmation.

## Schedule a post {#schedule}

1. Publish the post.
2. Click **Blog Post** at the top, set the **Publishing date** to a later day, such as 15/11/2026 09:00, and click **Save**.

![A published post dated 15 November 2026 stays hidden from visitors until that day.](https://jaah.app/web/image/17278-174d5dbf/website-edit-publish-or-delete-a-post-post_scheduled-en.png)

Until that date, visitors do not see the post on its blog, and its link takes them to the blog's page. Editors see it with its later date. Nothing needs to run on the day: the date is checked at each visit. A later date set before publishing is kept when you publish.

## Archive or delete {#archive-or-delete}

In the list, tick the posts and open **Actions**.

![With posts ticked, Actions publishes, unpublishes, archives or deletes them together.](https://jaah.app/web/image/16704-220edaa1/website-edit-publish-or-delete-a-post-list_actions-en.png)

- **Archive**, after a confirmation, unpublishes the posts and hides them from the list; **Unarchive** brings them back unpublished.
- **Delete** opens **Delete Page**: tick **I am sure about this.**, then click **Delete**. **No, keep it** cancels.

![Delete stays greyed out until the box is ticked.](https://jaah.app/web/image/16706-5dc92dcb/website-edit-publish-or-delete-a-post-delete_dialog-en.png)

**Archive** and **Delete** are also in the **Actions** menu of a post's form. A deleted post leaves an entry in the recycle bin, which [Find a deleted record](/docs/recycle-bin/find-a-deleted-record) explains.

## FAQ {#faq}

### Visitors still do not see my published post. {#not-visible}

Check its **Publishing date**: a later date hides it until that day. Check also its blog's **Website** and that the blog is not archived.

### Why did the date of my post change? {#date-changed}

Unpublishing clears a date already past, and publishing again dates the post on that day. Set the **Publishing date** back in the form if needed.

### Can I get a deleted post back? {#deleted}

Its entry in the recycle bin keeps the values it held. What a restore brings back is explained in [Restore a record and check the result](/docs/recycle-bin/restore-a-record-and-check-the-result).

### Does publishing send anything to clients? {#notify}

Only the followers of the blog receive a message: the person who created the blog, the people added to its followers in its form, and visitors who subscribed with **Follow Us**. The demo blog has no followers.
