Click the eye icon in the editor to auto-save and open a full preview of the post in a new browser tab. The preview renders the post exactly as it will appear to readers, including formatting, images, and cover image.Post actions from the blog builder
Inside a blog site, the Blog Builder lists all posts with their status, author, category, and type. Click the three-dot icon on any post to access:- Edit Post — return to the editor to modify content or details
- Duplicate Post — create an identical copy to use as a template for future posts
- Change Blog Post SEO Details — update the meta title, description, and URL slug without re-opening the full editor
- Preview Post — open the live or preview version in a new tab
- Archive Post — hide the post from the blog without deleting it
- Delete Blog Post — permanently remove the post (this cannot be undone)
Changing a post’s URL slug after it has been published creates a new URL. If the post has accumulated backlinks or search rankings, redirect the old slug to the new one to preserve SEO equity. Set up URL redirects under your funnel or website settings.
Table of contents
The blog editor can auto-generate a table of contents (TOC) from the heading structure in your post. When enabled, the TOC appears at the top of the published post (or in the sidebar, depending on your blog template), giving readers a clickable outline of the article. To enable:- In the blog site editor, enable the Table of Contents element or toggle in the blog layout settings
- The TOC pulls from all H2 and H3 headings in the post
- Each entry links directly to that section of the article
Hero / featured post
Designate one post as the featured post to display it prominently on the blog home page with a larger card, hero image, and excerpt. To set a featured post:- Open the blog site editor and locate the Featured Post section
- Select the post you want to feature from the dropdown
- The featured post appears in the hero area at the top of the blog home page, above the standard post grid
