Unpublish: Removes page from live site.
View as Published: Opens page in a new tab to preview page
View in Admin: Takes you to page in site panel view
In the top right corner of a page, you will find the following:
3. Edit Mode
Edit is the default mode when a page is first opened. In Touch, hyperlinks are disabled in Edit Mode. To check links, or to navigate to another page from within a page, you must switch from Edit to Preview Mode.
4. Preview Mode
The editing tools are removed in Preview Mode. All the links are able to be selected, and the site can be navigated. Also, select Preview mode to see how the page will look once it is published.
Selecting Ctrl-Shift-M allows you to switch between Edit and Preview mode.
5) Annotate
The Annotate mode allows you to create, edit, move or delete annotations on your content. When annotations are added to a page, a number replaces the Annotate icon.
6. The header is not a function or tool but it is a consistent element of every page in your site. The header is where your site's name (with an auto-created link to the homepage) is located.
The site name is added in the inheritedContent template in the root level of your site.
7. The local footer is an optional and can appear on all pages, some pages, or none of the pages. The footer can be created in the inheritedContent template in the root level of your site.
8. Navigation is another element that displays on every page of your site. The site colours and navigation style is set in the page properties of your homepage template.

8. The H1 Heading is populated using the Title field on a newly created page. Since it is a consistently displayed page heading, it is important to note that the Title field becomes your H1, the page's default navigation label (if shown in navigation) and the Page Title (which is viewable in your browser and it is important for SEO).
9. Components are the building blocks of your pages. All content on your page - text, images and video - are created using components. To add new components, navigate to the side panel to view the Component browser.
