# Editing your site

After this page you can open your site in Siteshare, find your way around, and know that nothing goes live until you say so.

## Open your site

Go to your own website and add `/edit` to the address, such as `yoursite.com/edit`. Or use the link in the invitation from your builder.

Enter your email address and choose **Continue with email**. You get an email with a 6-digit code: enter it on the screen. There is no password to remember.

The first time, getting your site ready can take up to 2 minutes. After that it opens in seconds.

## What you see

- **Your site**, as your visitors see it, in the middle. You can click through it as usual.
- **The chat**, next to it. Tell the assistant what you want to change, in your own words and your own language.
- **The bar above your site**, with the tools (**Browse**, **Select**, **Draw**) and the widths (phone, tablet, computer), so you can check how a page looks everywhere.
- **The top bar**, with how many changes aren't published yet, **History**, and **Publish**.

On a phone, you switch between **Chat** and **Site** at the top.

## Nothing goes live by itself

Everything you change is saved straight away in your **draft**. You see it in the preview; your visitors don't. Only when you choose **Publish** does it go live. Changed your mind? **Discard** removes your unpublished changes, and your site stays exactly as it is.

## What you can change

Your builder decides what you can change on your own: your **access**. You see it in the menu under your name. Most often that's **Text and images**. You can still ask for more; some changes then wait for your builder's approval. See [When your builder needs to help](/docs/builder-help).

## When someone else is editing

One person edits a site at a time. If someone else is busy, you can watch, or choose **Take over**. Nothing they saved is lost.
