Hi

I’m pretty new to Hubspot and trying to figure some things out. How would I go about updating a module without publishing the changes live, I want to see the changes it in the content editor but not published live until I publish my pages.

This isn’t possible. Templates/editors will always show the _published_ version of the modules it’s using. Best you could do is clone the module and use that cloned module in the template/content editor without publishing the template/page. Then once you’re satisified with the changes implement them in the original module or just continue using the cloned module as a ‘V2’.

Being able to view unpusblished changes of a module in templates/editors would be pretty neat though so I’d suggest submitting a post to the [Ideas](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/idb-p/HubSpot_Ideas) forum, though I’m not sure how plausible such a feature would actually be.
