Manage Staging and Versions in Framer
Learn how to manage Staging and Versions in Framer. Learn how to effectively manage staging and versions for your Framer website. You will use the canvas and layout controls to make the result fit the rest of your design system.
Lesson details
Use Staging to review a project update away from the production site, and use Versions to inspect or restore earlier project states when needed. Name or document meaningful checkpoints around releases so collaborators can identify the right state.
Test forms, CMS content, redirects, and responsive pages on the staged result before promoting it. Keep production publishing as a separate decision after the review is complete.
Use shared styles and Components when the choice repeats, and keep one-off adjustments local. Clear ownership prevents a small visual edit from creating inconsistent versions across pages.
