What should be the final step before publishing a page?

The final step before publishing a page should be to preview it. This step is crucial as it allows you to review the content, layout, and functionality of the page as it will appear to visitors. By previewing, you can spot any errors or formatting issues that may not be evident in the editing interface, ensuring that the page is polished and professional before it goes live.

Previewing helps to verify that all links work correctly, images display properly, and overall user experience meets expectations. This step serves as a final quality check to maximize the effectiveness and user engagement of the page once it’s published. It's an essential part of the publishing workflow to ensure that what you're about to present to your audience is both visually appealing and functional.

While adding a canonical URL, sharing on social media, and scheduling the page are all important tasks in the content management and marketing process, they do not serve the purpose of verifying the final appearance and function of the page before it is made publicly available.
