One of our users duplicated a live page, edited the contents of the draft/duplicated version (keeping the url the same) DIDN’T hit publish, but the changes they made in the draft appeared on the live site.

If this is intended behaviour then it seems extremely risky, surely there needs to be an obvious prompt to change the url of duplicated pages first before making changes or have a new one generated automatically before the user is allowed to edit the page? Nothing in the documentation or the editor states that draft content will override live content.

_Please fill out as many of the following questions as possible so we can help you promptly! If you don’t know how to answer or it does not apply, feel free to remove it or leave it blank._

Hi @abrasumente Welcome to [Builder.io](http://Builder.io) Forum!

I agree this is not the expected behavior and we are not able to reproduce it internally. Is this the URL [https://heatable.co.uk/new-boilers/worcester-bosch-boilers](https://heatable.co.uk/new-boilers/worcester-bosch-boilers) where the issue happened?

@abrasumente could you please also share the builder integration code?
