Last checked August 2026. Wix changes its interface often — if something looks different, the underlying steps usually still apply.
If you have inherited a Wix site or you have not touched it in a while, this is the orientation you need.
Step 1: Log in and pick the right site
Go to your Wix account. If you have several sites, check the domain shown under each one before you open it.
Step 2: Choose Edit Site
The dashboard manages the business side. Edit Site opens the visual editor where the content lives.
Step 3: Click the thing you want to change
Text, images and buttons are edited by clicking them directly. A toolbar appears with the relevant options.
Step 4: Use undo freely
Ctrl+Z or Cmd+Z. Nothing you do in the editor affects the live site until you publish.
Step 5: Preview before you publish
Preview shows the site as a visitor sees it, including links and forms.
Step 6: Publish
Changes only go live when you click Publish.
Common questions
- Do my changes go live immediately?
- No. Editor changes are saved as a draft and only appear to visitors after you publish.
