Can Google Sites be edited after publishing?

Yes, Google Sites can be edited after publishing. One of the advantages of using Google Sites is the ability to make updates and changes to your website even after it has been published. Here’s how you can edit your Google Sites website after it has been published:

1. Access the Google Sites Editor:
Sign in to your Google Account and navigate to Google Sites (sites.google.com). Locate your website in the list of sites or use the search function to find it. Click on the website to open it in the editor.

2. Enter Edit Mode:
Once your website is open in the editor, click on the “Edit” button or the pencil icon to enter the edit mode. This allows you to make changes to the content, layout, and design of your website.

3. Make Changes:
In edit mode, you can modify the existing content, add new text, images, videos, or other elements, rearrange sections, change the theme, or customize the site’s settings. Use the toolbar and editing options available in the editor to format your content and design your website according to your preferences.

4. Save and Publish Changes:
As you make changes, Google Sites automatically saves your progress. However, the changes you make will not be visible to the public until you explicitly choose to publish them. When you are ready to apply your edits, click the “Publish” button or the eye icon to make the updated version of your website live.

5. View the Updated Website:
Once you’ve published the changes, you can view your updated website by visiting its URL. The changes should be immediately visible to both you and your website visitors.

It’s important to note that any changes you make to your published Google Sites website are instantly reflected on the live version. Therefore, it’s a good practice to review your changes carefully and ensure they appear as intended before publishing them.

With the ability to edit your Google Sites website even after publishing, you have the flexibility to keep your content up to date, add new information, and refine the design to meet your evolving needs.

Google Sites is a safe and user-friendly website builder, but it has some limitations in terms of features and design and customisation options. It’s a great tool for creating simple websites, portfolios, project pages, or internal team sites, but not really recommended for business websites. If you need a good looking website for your business or company and would like a professional website to be designed and built for you, please contact us.
