## How it works

**Current Draft**: Your working version. This is where you make changes. Not live for users.

**Latest Version**: The live version users see.

**Previous Versions**: Older published versions.

Your draft becomes the new Latest Version, and you get a fresh draft to work in.

</Warning>

**Restore a version**: Load an old version back into your draft
