# Update a published Confluence site after editing pages

To update a published Confluence site after editing pages, open the site in Capable Sites and select **Update** on its **Overview**. When the build completes, check the staging preview, then select **Promote** and confirm with **Promote to production**. Edits in Confluence never reach the live site on their own, so both steps are needed every time.

## Before you start

* You need to be a Confluence admin or a collaborator on the site.
* Settings changes, such as the theme, redirects or integrations, publish the same way. Access changes are the exception: they apply straight away.

---

## Steps

1. Open Capable, choose **Sites**, and open your site on its **Overview**.
2. Check the change summary, such as **N pages changed since last deployment**.
3. Select **Update** and wait until the build shows **Complete**.
4. Open the staging preview and check your changes.
5. Select **Promote**, then **Promote to production**.
6. Select the picture of your site at the top of the Overview, marked **Visit site**, to open the live site.

## If it does not work

* **Deploy limit reached.** A site can deploy 12 times an hour, and all your sites together 12 times. Wait and try again.
* **Staging preview expired.** Previews last 90 days. Run Update again before you promote.
* **The live site still shows old content.** Check you promoted after the Update, and that the page is not excluded.
