# Staging and live environment

The **staging environment** is the editing mode of the selector. It is **not** visible to your customers. The **live environment**, on the other hand, is visible to your customers.

Changes to the selector are **not** made directly in the **live environment**, but in **staging**.

You can therefore prepare, test and save all changes in the workbench before finally transferring them to the live system.

The environment can be recognized by the toggle **Live View**. If the toggle is deactivated, you are in the **staging environment** and can edit and save the selector in the workbench. Your end users will not see these changes.

However, if the toggle is activated, you are in the **live environment** and cannot edit and save the selector directly.

> [!NOTE]
> 💡Save changes to the selector **regularly**.

The video shows the differences between the staging and live versions and demonstrates the publish and reset features.
