## Re-publishing a Live Story

**To publish changes made to a live story, simply go through the publishing process again.**

**If your users are busy with a live story and you make changes, they may have to go back and complete, for example, a new activity you have added.**&#x20;

**Avoid making major story changes after publishing.** Remember to simulate and check everything thoroughly before you publish.
