Queue for site publish

Schedule item changes for the next Webflow site publish
View as Markdown

Instead of publishing an item immediately, you can queue it for the next site-wide publish in Webflow. Queued changes go live when the entire site is published — useful when your team batches CMS updates with site deploys.

Queue an item

1

Open the item

Open an item in the detail sheet with saved changes ready to go live.

2

Open the action menu

Click the button in the item sheet sidebar, next to the Publish button.

3

Click Queue for next site publish

Select Queue for next site publish from the menu.

4

Choose locale scope (multi-locale sites)

On multi-locale sites, choose Current locale only or All locales if prompted.

After queuing, the item status changes to one of:

  • Item Queued to Publish — a draft item queued for site publish
  • Changes Queued to Publish — a live item with draft changes queued for site publish

See Understand item status.

Remove from queue

To cancel a queued item, open the menu and click Remove from queue. The item returns to its previous draft or published state.

Site must be published first

Like immediate publishing, queuing requires the Webflow site to have been published at least once. If not, publish actions are disabled with the tooltip:

Publish site to enable item publishing

When creating a new item, the sidebar shows the standalone Save and Publish buttons, and Queue for next site publish is available from the menu next to them.
