How settings save
Settings save as you change them, and the card title shows whether it worked.
In your site's Settings, the Publishing, Coverage and priorities and Writing cards save as you go, and so does Your publication on the Account page:
- Choices, switches and sliders save as soon as you change them.
- Typed text saves when you pause for a moment or leave the box.
- The card title shows Saving… and then Saved.
The Save button at the bottom of each card does the same, if you prefer it. Viewers on your team can see settings but not change them.
