description: Every save is a git commit on the site's branch.

By default, every save writes one commit straight to the branch you are editing. Your host's normal git deploy publishes it.

- The commit author is the person who saved. Members without push access work through the workspace owner's GitHub token.
- Edits that touch several files (a config change, a media move, an AI edit) are one commit, so they can be reverted as one.

To have changes checked before they go live, turn on [reviews](/publishing/reviews).
