Enterprise publishing workflow
The Enterprise Publishing workflow gives your team more control over what goes live—helping you catch issues early and prevent unintended changes from reaching your live site. In this video, we’ll show you how to use the Enterprise Publishing workflow to stage, review, and publish updates with confidence. Available on Enterprise plans.

Enterprise publishing workflow in Webflow gives larger teams structured control over how changes move from development to live. Rather than anyone with Designer access being able to publish directly to production at any time, the enterprise publishing workflow introduces review and approval steps that ensure changes are vetted before they go live.
The key feature here is page branching with approvals. Designers or content editors can create a branch of a page — essentially a copy they can work on independently — and when they're done, submit it for review. Designated approvers can review the changes, leave comments, and either approve the branch for merging or request further revisions.
Only after a branch is approved can it be merged back into the main site and published. This creates a clear audit trail and prevents unapproved changes from accidentally going live.
For teams managing enterprise sites where publishing errors have real consequences — brand risk, compliance issues, revenue impact — this kind of structured workflow provides meaningful protection without slowing down the team's ability to iterate.
The publishing workflow also pairs with Webflow's granular access controls. You can define who can create branches, who can approve them, and who can publish to staging versus production. This layered approach to permissions means you can enforce your team's specific process within Webflow itself.
