# 💾 Save vs Publish: what's the difference?

`Save` and `Publish` do different things in Peak PIM.

# Save

Keeps your changes **inside Peak PIM**. Your live Shopify stores don't change yet.

# Publish

Sends your saved changes **to Shopify** so shoppers see them.

# Common point of confusion

A frequent question is "I saved a change, why hasn't my store updated?". The answer is usually that the change hasn't been published yet.

||| Save freely as you work, and publish when you're ready to go live.
