[[File:Show preview.jpg|thumb|right|500px|The "show preview" button is right next to the "save page" button and below the [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] field.]]

There two different ways of '''saving'''/'''publishing''' your changes based on the editor you are using: 
* [[VisualEditor]] - Blue Publish  
* [[Enhanced editor]] - "Save page" button at the bottom of the page 
Both options allow you to "Show preview" and "Show changes."  After you save the changes, you can always review them in the [[article history]] or your [[Help:User contributions|contributions]]. 

== VisualEditor ==
''This content is being shown using [[Help:Labeled Section Transclusion|Labeled Section Transclusion]].  Edits can be made at [[Help:Visual editor#Saving changes]]''.
{{#lsth:Help:Visual editor|Saving changes}}

== Enhanced editor ==
{{Help Box}}
When using the Enhanced editor, you are presented a couple of options below the [[Edit summary]] including to '''Save page.'''  There are also two other options 

=== Show preview ===
Below the edit box is a '''Show preview''' button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this prior to saving. This allows you to check what the page will look like first and to check that you haven't made any errors. It also prevents the need for multiple saves. Saving the same article a large number of times in quick succession makes it harder for people to check what changed, and clogs up the [[Help:Article history|article history]].

See {{W|Help:Show preview|Wikipedia's Show preview article}} for a complete description of this topic.

=== Show changes ===
The show changes feature will give you a [[Difference view]] of the page text before and after your changes.  You still need to save the page to have the contents be updated in the wiki.
