Before publishing, you can edit the search listing in the SEO tab. After publication, check the article on your website and review each language you intend visitors to read.

The first publication normally sets Published At; later edits keep that date. A future date does not schedule publication, so click Publish changes only when you are ready to go live.

If your homepage has an Article rail section, it shows up to three newest published articles. Drafts do not appear, and updating an older article does not move it ahead unless its publication date changes. A page section labelled Article rail → Cards supplies fallback cards when no articles are published.
