# Publish or discard unpublished dashboard changes

> See what changed in a live Mammoth dashboard since it was last published, who made each edit, then publish the changes or discard them back to the live version.
>
> Applies to: Roles: Editors of the dashboard (members of its project). Where: Dashboard editor › unpublished changes chip, or Share › Unpublished changes

Once a dashboard is live, your edits don't reach viewers until you publish again. When the draft differs from the published version, the editor header shows a chip beside the **Live** pill, for example **3 unpublished changes**, with a **Publish** part on its right. The **Share** panel lists the same **Unpublished changes**.

## See what changed since the last publish

Click the chip to open **Changes since last publish** ("Viewers still see the last published version."). Each row shows:

- What changed, for example "Edited Revenue by region", or "4 edits" when several edits are grouped
- Who made it ("Assistant edit" for changes made by the AI)
- How long ago ("just now", "5m ago", "2h ago", "yesterday")

Click a row to select that change on the canvas. Long lists end with "and 4 more". If the draft differs but no edit is named, the list reads "The draft differs from the published version, but no edit is listed by name. This happens after a layout change."

## Publish the changes

Click **Publish** to make the changes live. When another author made some of them, the Share panel offers **Let Priya know it's published**, naming those authors.

New data from the dashboard's sources can also go live without a manual publish. See [Sync new data into a dashboard automatically](https://mammoth.io/docs/learn/dashboards/sync-and-publish/#sync-new-data-into-a-dashboard-automatically).

## Discard the changes

Discarding is only in the editor, not in the Share panel.

1. Click the unpublished changes chip in the editor header. **Discard changes…** is at the bottom of the **Changes since last publish** list, next to **Publish**. It is greyed out until the dashboard has a published version.
2. Read the confirm, for example "Discard 5 unpublished changes?" and "The draft goes back to the published version, the one viewers see now. Viewers aren't affected." with "You can undo this straight after." It breaks the changes down by author ("3 changes by you", "2 by" followed by a teammate's name).
3. Click **Discard changes**.

The toast reads "Draft reset to the published version" with **Undo**, so you can take it back straight away.

| Message | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| "The draft changed while you were deciding. Check the list again before you discard." | Someone else edited while the confirm was open |
| "Couldn't discard the changes. Nothing was lost." | The discard failed. Try again |
