Draft, publish, and visibility

Control what members see with drafts, publish state, and visibility settings.

Last updated Jul 22, 2026

DocsHub lets you prepare content privately, then publish when it is ready for members.

Statuses that matter

  • Draft = work in progress; members cannot see it.

  • Published = available when the article and its category/section are visible.

  • Hidden articles stay out of browse, search, and public links.

Safe publishing workflow

  1. Write the article as a draft.

  2. Preview the member experience.

  3. Publish when the answer is accurate.

  4. Promote only your most important homepage articles.

Why this matters

Publishing control keeps your help center trustworthy — members never see unfinished work.
