4. Save the content

Return to the page and click Publish changes to put the new photo on the website. Pages with autosave keep your work as a draft while you edit; if Save Draft appears, you can use it to save for review. For an agent or setting with a Save button, saving updates the website straight away.

The Media library lets you upload images in advance and reuse them later. It accepts image files; use video and tour link fields for hosted videos or tours. Editing a shared image’s alternative text, crop or focus can affect every place that uses it. To change only one page’s photo, upload a new image and select it on that page. Deleting a library image can remove it from pages that use it.
