Unpublished Content in Site Management Tools
When you first add content to your site, it's considered unpublished and isn't visible on your site. Any edits, additions, or removal of content are saved as unpublished content. This lets you make changes in advance and publish them immediately or on a set date and time.
When you're viewing unpublished content, you can use Preview Mode or Edit Mode. Change modes by clicking the button on the site management toolbar. For details, see Site Management Tools User Interface.
To show unpublished content on your site, you need to publish it. You can view all unpublished changes by selecting the Review & Publish Changes icon 
on the site management toolbar. Here, you can publish or discard content, manage visibility dates, preview content before publishing, and make changes. The following screenshot shows the options on the Unpublished Changes subtab:
