Adding a section, changing a layout or restructuring a page is a structural change. Publishing one draws on your plan's monthly allowance.

## What counts as structural

Three shapes, and they all change the page rather than its contents.

- **Adding a section** that was not there.
- **Changing a layout** - what sits where, in what order, at what size.
- **Restructuring a page**, including adding or removing one.

## What does not count

The everyday edits stay free.

- **Text.** Any word on any page, any number of times.
- **Photos.** Swapping an image is not a structural change.
- **Contact details, hours and prices** written into your copy.

## How to publish one

Four steps, and the count only moves at the last one.

1. Describe the change and let the builder draft it.
2. Look at it staged, on your real site.
3. Approve it.
4. Publish. That publish is what draws on the allowance.

## What is never charged for

Two carve-outs worth knowing.

- **A publish that fails is never counted.** You are not charged for our error.
- **Drafting and staging cost nothing.** Change your mind as often as you like before you publish.

## Making one publish carry more

Since the publish is the unit, group the work.

- **Stage several structural changes**, then publish them together.
- **Get the copy right first**, because fixing it afterwards is free either way.
- **Current allowances and top-up costs** are on the [pricing page](/pricing/), in your own currency.
