Editor merging and pull requests with publishing

To merge your changes, you first need a publish branch to merge into. Read more about adding a publish branch, or creating a project.

Merging

Merging is a staight-forward way to push changes back to your publish branch.

The workflow for merging is as follows:

Make changes to the branched site
In your site’s settings, navigate to Publishing tab
Click the Publish button.

Pull Requests

Pull requests provide an intermediate step for publishing.

Note

Any pull requests that are not from the connected branch to publish branch are hidden in CloudCannon.

The workflow with this publish mode is:

Make changes to the branched site
In your site’s settings, navigate to the Publishing tab
Edit the title and description of the pull request to provide context to the reviewer.
Click Create Pull Request

Reviewing pull requests

Once a pull request has been made, you (or another editor) can then review it before merging.

In your site’s settings, navigate to the Publishing tab
Review the changes
Click Merge or Close

Note

Merge publishes the changes into the publish branch, while Close cancels the pull request. Changes made are retained after closing a pull request.
