It may happen that you need to keep your Knowledge Base unpublished without losing anything you already have, whether it's for maintenance, because you're not ready to launch it yet, or simply because you want to review something before it goes public.
Your Knowledge Base has two states: Live or Unpublished, visible next to "Details", with a Publish or Unpublish button next to it.
The first time is automatic. When you create it, Can Do needs to bring your documents from Basecamp first, you'll see a progress bar while that happens. Once it's done, it publishes itself and you'll receive an email. You don't have to click anything for this first launch.
After that, the button is at your disposal:
- Unpublish takes it down temporarily, no one can see it at its URL while it's off, not even a "under maintenance" notice. The page simply won't load.
- Publish brings it back up.
Publish or Unpublish doesn't delete or change any of your content, only its visibility.
