As I said in the tutorial, your changes are instantly visible in the live version ... If you can't make your changes in one session, that could generate different confusing "versions" for your readers who are on your site in a given moment ...

But that's the smallest problem ... When you update a post or a page, you could get a bunch of errors .... inaccessible media elements, broken URLs, failed publishing, etc ... And obviously, you don't want to "crash" your live content with an untested new version.

Oh man, I wish I'd remembered your duplication trick before - I've been updating the same post for 3 days now, just hit a mental block on it. Ah well, least I know what to do tomorrow, though I expect it will be completed tomorrow. Will follow your process just in case :-)
Thank you so much, valuable information as always!
