The Page Status feature provides a visual indicator of the publishing state of each page in your project. A colored dot appears to the left of the page name, showing whether the page is done and ready to publish or still in progress.
Page Status Types
Each status is represented by a colored dot and a label:
🟢 Done - Page is complete and will be published to your live domain.
🟡 In progress - Page is still being worked on. Visible only on the staging domain.
⚪ On hold - Page work is paused. Visible only on the staging domain.
🔴 Needs review - Page requires review or approval before publishing. Visible only on the staging domain.
Page status and your staging domain
The staging domain is the best way to share project progress before publishing.
Every Vev account includes a staging domain for free.
Pages published to the staging domain:
Are not indexed by search engines, making them ideal for testing, versioning, and client feedback.
Display a status badge (In Progress, On Hold, or Needs Review) in the lower-left corner of the page.
This helps collaborators and clients immediately understand the stage of each page.
Note: Pages marked as Ready do not display a badge on the staging domain.
For more details, see: The Staging Domain in Vev.
Publishing with a Custom Domain
If your project is connected to a custom domain, your homepage must be in status Done to publish.
If the homepage is In Progress, a helper text will appear under the Publish button explaining why publishing is blocked.
Other pages can remain In Progress, On Hold, or Needs Review, but the homepage must be Done to publish at least the main page.
Note: Pages marked as Done do not display a status badge in the staging domain.
