The second option is the ‘Published’ and ‘Save’ option. The options switch depending on if you’ve made changes on the page or not.

When the page is not changed and you click on ‘Published’ a popup will open and show you publishing information of the page.

When changes are made on the page the ‘Published’ option is changed to a ‘Save’ dropdown menu.

This menu has the following options:

1. Publish: save the changes and publish them directly.
2. Save Draft: save the changes as a draft to edit and publish later.
3. Save to Change Set: save the changes to a Changeset for updating the site in bulk.
4. Cancel: all changes are discarded.
