By Impran M N
Squarespace's drag-and-drop editor makes it easy to update text, images, and layout, but changes don't go live automatically. This guide explains how to enter edit mode, make your changes, and save them properly so they publish to your live site.
01Log in and open your site
Sign in at squarespace.com, using Continue with Google if linked, then select the website you want to update from your dashboard.
02Enter edit mode
Click the Edit button, usually in the top-left corner, to make text blocks, images, and buttons clickable and editable.
03Make your changes
Update your blog, adjust the layout, or swap images — Squarespace shows changes in real time as you work.
04Click Save
Look for the Save button at the top-left corner and click it once you're satisfied with your edits, so they're applied and visible to visitors.
Frequently asked questions
Does Squarespace autosave my changes?
Minor edits may be retained temporarily, but it's always best to click Save manually to avoid losing your work, especially for larger updates.
Why aren't my changes showing on the live site?
Changes only go live after you manually click Save — editing alone won't publish updates to visitors.
Where is the Save button located?
It's typically at the top-left corner of the page while you're in edit mode.
Can I preview changes before saving?
Yes, Squarespace shows your edits in real time while you're in edit mode, so you can review them before clicking Save.
