When you create content, publishing it is crucial to make it visible and available to others. Only content that is published can be consumed by others.
Hygraph has two Content Stages, DRAFT and PUBLISHED - with PUBLISHED being the only stage where content is visible to others and ready to be consumed.
Once you've finished working on a content piece in the DRAFT stage, simply click Save & Publish or Publish to move it to the PUBLISHED stage.
Content entries often contain assets and references, so it's a good practice to make sure they are also PUBLISHED. This ensures everything loads properly.
Publish related assets
If any assets or references are still in the DRAFT stage, you'll be prompted to publish them when you click Save & Publish. When content is PUBLISHED, the system creates a new version that shows how the content has evolved and when it was last updated.
