Promote your page

After you have published your page to the target server and tested it, you can promote the page so that all users on the target server with the appropriate access rights can view the page.

If a promoted page with the same unique name exists already, the previously promoted page becomes the old version of the page.

If an old version of the page with the same unique name exists already, that page is overwritten.
