What you are seeing

I changed a page's SEO settings and the site still says "Preview matches Confluence".

#Why it happens

The change counter is a search over page last-modified dates. Saving SEO metadata in the side panel does not change a page's last-modified date, so it is invisible to the counter.

#What to do

Deploy anyway, do not trust the counter after a metadata-only edit.

Found it? Good.
