# Publish Changes button does not appear

## Issue

The [**Publish changes**](/studio/docs/should-i-do-a-push-to-production-for-any-content-changes) button does not appear on the dashboard in the **Ready** stage.

## Probable Cause

The **Publish changes** button is visible only if the **Ready** stage is empty. ![clm_db_publish_changes](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/clm_db_publish_changes.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-12T07%3A59%3A22Z&se=2026-11-12T08%3A59%3A22Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aZCTKhl%2FfKNlIWT6UsB%2FbdDOF8zNBfo%2B7wRvGM%2Fc3zc%3D)

## Suggested Solution

Push all the widgets/content from the **Ready** stage to **Production** or back to the **Draft** stage to see the **Publish changes** button.

For more information, see [Should I do a Push to Production for any content changes?](/studio/docs/should-i-do-a-push-to-production-for-any-content-changes).
