Answers to some frequently asked questions by our designers are provided below. We will update this section as we get more similar questions.

Are XPath expressions case sensitive
Yes. A configuration of "//*[@class="snippet"]" will not retrieve HTML nodes in the form of <div Class="Snippet">My editable content</div> as our system interpretes class and Class as two different attributes.
 
 

Scheduled publishing enables you to save changes made to a webpage without publishing it. Within SnappySnippet, this can be achievedin n two ways.


Manual schedule publishing: You simple make the changes required to your webpage and then select "Manual publishing" when the page is saved. You may then publish the page at a latter date.

Automated schedule publishing: With automated publishing, you select a date and a time at which you wish to publish your changes. You will also need to select your time zone. Your changes are then published to approcimately no more than a minute after your selected publish time.
