# Queue for site publish

Instead of publishing an item immediately, you can **queue** it for the next site-wide publish in Webflow. Queued changes go live when Webflow publishes the site. This works well when your team batches CMS updates with site deploys.

## Queue an item

#### Open the item

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

#### Open the action menu

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

#### Click Queue for next site publish

Select **Queue for next site publish** from the menu.

#### 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](/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

## Queue vs. publish immediately

| Method                          | When changes go live                                  |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Publish**                     | Immediately. See [Publish an item](/publish-an-item). |
| **Queue for next site publish** | On the next site-wide publish in Webflow              |

Use queuing when your workflow batches CMS changes with site deploys.

## Queue in create mode

When [creating a new item](/create-new-item), the sidebar shows **Save** and **Publish**. Open the **⋮** menu next to those buttons and click **Queue for next site publish**.

## Bulk queue

Use [Update multiple items](/bulk-actions) and choose **Queue for publish** to queue multiple items at once.
