NocoDB interfaces have a draft and a published version: change the draft safely in the builder, then publish when your changes are ready.

Each interface page has two versions: the **draft** that you edit in the builder, and the **published** version that all other users see. You can redesign pages, test changes and preview freely. The people who use the interface are not affected. Draft availability can change with your plan.

## Publish changes

1. In the builder topbar, click **Publish**. The button is enabled when there are unpublished changes. Interfaces with pending changes also show an "unpublished changes" badge in the sidebar.
2. Review the publish dialog. It shows the pages that the publish will update.
3. Optionally, mark pages as **keep as draft**. These pages are not part of this publish. The rest of the interface publishes without them.
4. Confirm the publish.

You can also publish several interfaces at the same time from the sidebar. Use **Publish interfaces** and select the interfaces to include.

| Builders        | The draft, while in the builder. Before you publish, use **Preview** and **Preview as** to check the draft as any role or user. See [Interface builder](/docs/interfaces/interface-builder#preview-your-work). |

Users cannot see a page that was never published. The page shows after its first publish.

<Callout type="note">
  Interfaces that are hidden from the navigation can't be published, and published interfaces can't be hidden.
