Build and deploy / deploy (push) Successful in 23s
Adds /whp/site-builder/ with overview, getting-started, blocks-and-pages, styling, and publishing. Wired as a 'Site Builder' sidebar group with a Beta badge. - Captured real screenshots via the demo account through a redaction step (server names, domain, demo-user all swapped for placeholders) - New beta-callout partial shared across all 5 articles - capture-site-builder.ts is local-only (uses tools/screenshots/.env for demo creds, never runs in CI)

## Drafts vs. publish
|
|
|
|
Site Builder separates "save my edits" from "make these edits live."
|
|
|
|
- **Save** stores your edits as a draft on the server. You can close the editor and come back; your work is preserved. The live site doesn't change.
|
|
- **Publish** renders the site, writes the resulting HTML and assets to the site's docroot, and serves it to visitors on the next request.
|
|
|
|
The two buttons are in the top right of the editor.
|
|
|
|
<Aside type="tip">
|
|
Treat **Save** as your "ctrl-S" and **Publish** as your release button. Save liberally; publish when you're ready.
|
|
</Aside>
|
|
|
|
## Preview before publishing
|
|
|
|
Two previews are available, both without affecting the live site:
|
|
|
|
- **Inline preview** — the desktop/tablet/mobile toggle on the top bar swaps the canvas viewport so you can see how the page reflows.
|
|
- **Full-window preview** — click **Preview** at the top to see your draft rendered without the editor chrome. Use this to read the page like a visitor.
|
|
|
|
If you want to share a preview with someone outside your account, save the draft, then publish to a staging site (a separate WHP site you keep around for review).
|
|
|
|
## Custom head code
|
|
|
|
The **Code** button at the top of the editor opens a modal where you can paste content into the `<head>` of every page on the site.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Common uses:
|
|
|
|
- **Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or other analytics** — paste the tracking snippet they give you.
|
|
- **Custom fonts** — `<link>` tags pointing at Google Fonts, Fontsource, or your own hosted font.
|
|
- **Global CSS overrides** — inline `<style>` blocks for tweaks the Styles panel can't reach.
|
|
- **Verification tags** — `<meta>` tags for Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster, etc.
|
|
|
|
Click **Done** to close the modal. The code is injected on the next publish.
|
|
|
|
<Aside type="caution">
|
|
Whatever you paste here runs on every page. Test analytics in your browser's dev tools before publishing widely, and keep any inline `<script>` content small — slow scripts make every page slower.
|
|
</Aside>
|
|
|
|
## Undo / redo
|
|
|
|
The two arrows in the top toolbar (left of **Templates**) walk your edit history backwards and forwards. They cover the current editing session — once you close the editor and come back, the undo stack resets.
|
|
|
|
## Reverting a published version
|
|
|
|
Site Builder writes a clean copy on each publish, so there's no built-in "rollback" button. If you publish a version you regret:
|
|
|
|
- Make the corrective edits and publish again — usually the fastest fix.
|
|
- For more serious mistakes, restore from a [WHP backup](/whp/how-to/backups/). The site's domain folder is included in your scheduled site backups.
|
|
|
|
## Submitting feedback
|
|
|
|
Site Builder is in beta. The top bar has a **Submit feedback** link — please use it for anything weird, missing, or broken. The team reads every report.
