But how do you publish it then?? It’s the only way I can get to the menus on our website, and I can make the changes – but without a way to publish it, I’m stuck!

One of the first things in this article is that once you make your changes in the preview mode of customize, you have to publish to update the live website. I cannot find a publish button anywhere in the customize tool. And, it is never mentioned again in this article. I’m sure there is a very simple explanation but no one can argue that WordPress is an intuitive system, and the publish button is not jumping out at me.

Thanks

It would be helpful to also include the “Save Draft” and “Schedule” definitions and use-cases in addition to just the Publish button.

Please state the WordPress version / date when the Customizer was introduced.

It was: https://wordpress.org/documentation/wordpress-version/version-3-4/ which was published on 2012-06-13.

As a general recommendation for the documentation of major features, I’d appreciate a short mention in which version/date that feature was introduced with a link to the to the official changelog/blog. This provides context which can often help.

Let’s you estimate why something worked as it worked back then, and when that behavior changed, or offers an explanation why something does yet not work where you would possibly expect it.

In some instances of the documentation the genesis is mentioned or shortly wrapped up, in some not at all. Would appreciate that. Searching yourself through the Changelog or via Google is cumbersome detective work, as they have no easy chronological search capabilities.
