# Drafts, publishing and versions

> Every edit saves to a draft that never affects your live agent — publish when you're ready, and go back to an earlier version any time.

You can edit a live agent without any caller noticing. Everything you change in the agent editor saves automatically to a draft, and the live agent keeps answering exactly as it was until you choose to publish.

## Your draft

As soon as you change something, a bar appears above the editor: "Saving draft…" while your change is on its way, then **Draft saved — publish to make your changes live**. The draft is saved in the Hub itself, not in your browser — close the tab and it's still there when you come back.

The bar gives you two choices:

* **Publish changes** — makes your draft the live agent. This is the only moment your changes reach callers.
* **Discard draft** — throws the draft away and puts the editor back to what is live now. You'll be asked to confirm, because a discarded draft can't be recovered.

Before it publishes, the Hub checks your draft is complete — your agent has a name, your business name and a description are filled in, every journey step is named, and any call summary that's switched on has valid recipients. If something's missing, it tells you exactly what to fix.

<Tip>
  Chat on the [Test tab](/building/testing) tries your draft, so you can check a change conversationally before anyone else hears it. Voice calls always use the published version.
</Tip>

## Versions

The **Versions** tab keeps your publishing history: every publish creates a version, and a **Live** chip marks the one answering now. Your first publish creates version 1.

To go back, click **Make live** on an earlier version. Your agent returns to how it was then — and your current settings stay in the history, so you can switch back just as easily.

The tab also shows your **Agent ID** — quote it if you contact support.

## Agent states

Wherever an agent appears — the Agents list and the editor header — a chip shows whether it's taking calls:

* **Answering calls** (green) — live on its number now.
* **Needs a phone number** (amber) — switched on, but nobody can call it until you [add a number](/numbers/phone-numbers).
* **Paused** — not answering calls or chats until you resume it.

## Pause and resume

Pausing is separate from publishing: publishing decides *what* the live agent does, pausing decides *whether* it answers at all.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the agent on the Agents list">
    Each row has a pause control next to its status chip.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pause it">
    Click the pause button and confirm. While it's paused, your agent won't answer calls or chats — and it can't be tested either.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Resume when you're ready">
    Click the same control (now a play button) and your agent is answering again. Nothing else changes — its settings, draft and version history are untouched.
