PRACTICAL GUIDES
Static HTML export checklist: verify edits before publishing
An attractive editor preview is only one checkpoint. Before replacing a live landing or blog, verify the actual saved export, including resources and services a safe preview cannot execute. Start with one page and repeat these checks for every changed page.
1. Confirm the files and editing boundary
Keep the original export and confirm your right to use its content and assets. Import a ZIP when local resources are needed; use individual HTML only if its dependencies are included or deliberately external. Importing server-side application source does not convert it into a static website.
Inspect the import report and page list. Start with a supported paragraph, link label or image information. Structural checks preserve existing classes and attributes, but do not establish universal compatibility with third-party templates.
2. Verify a saved version, not just the preview
Press Save and wait for success. Reload and confirm the change survives. In History, inspect a previous version before restoring it; restoration creates a new version and checks the current baseline.
If another tab or teammate saved meanwhile, review the conflict instead of silently overwriting their work. A failed save should leave your draft available. Preserve the draft and error reference, and check the newest version before explicitly retrying.
3. Review repeated changes page by page
Reviewed changes supports literal, case-sensitive replacement in editable leaf text across at most 20 HTML pages. It does not search attributes, link destinations, scripts, code blocks or every combination of nested text. Read the complete before/after comparisons before approval.
A sole owner may approve their own proposal. With multiple members, another owner or administrator must approve the reviewed proposal. Individual editor saves are separate. Pages save individually: a partial failure keeps saved pages and exposes pending status. An explicit retry reconciles committed pages rather than duplicating versions.
4. Test the actual exported resources
Unzip the export and check the edited filename, asset paths and untouched pages. On your hosting or an equivalent test environment, test desktop and mobile menus, internal links, images, fonts and forms. Safe previews disable JavaScript; exports retain original script resources.
Contact forms need working endpoints. Analytics, payment widgets and external APIs need their own configuration and permissions. HTML editing cannot guarantee delivery, complete an external payment integration or fix a remote outage.
5. Check search-facing content without invented claims
Read the page's title, description and headings. Keep useful, specific content that accurately describes it. Structured data should match visible content: do not invent ratings, testimonials, author credentials or guaranteed results. Protected editing does not automatically optimize every imported site's metadata.
Our downloadable originals and reviewed exports cover a standalone page, landing, multi-page blog and table. They demonstrate those cases, not universal support.
