I often struggle with the fact that it’s only possible to publish the full website all together. When I’m working on a couple of (published) pages at the same time, with updates, new content etc, sometimes I don’t want to publish everything in one-go. I would love to have the option to choose to publish a single page and keep the rest in “saved”/unpublished draft mode.

Hi Marlies, thank you for your feedback! Tagging #WixEditor and #FeatureRequest for visibility.
Something that may work, is hiding some of the pages when you publish. That way only the ones that have been updated are visible.
Hi Steven! Thank you for your reply!
I’m assuming that this will also hide the pages in the menu after publishing right? Because they need to keep the exact same permission settings & visibility in the main menu etc as they currently have, so I’m afraid that solution won’t work in this case right? Or maybe I misunderstood - in that case: please let me know haha!
Thanks for your suggestion anyways, might be able to use it another time 
@marlies it would hide that specific page name from the menu once you publish it. In other words, viewers will not be able to see that page or it’s content as it will remain hidden on until you choose to make it visible again.
Ah yes then I understood it correctly: doesn’t work in my case unfortunately! I basically need to keep the pages online with the content that’s currently published, while I’m working on new updates 
Anyways, hopefully this is something valuable for more users & if so: possible to be implemented anytime in the future!
Understood! Thank you for the detailed response. This is great feedback for the team.
I understand this is a bit dated, but thought others may be researching the same issue. I get around this by duplicating page with a similar need of updates required by not ready to be published. Once duplicated, I remove the SEO to the “waiting page” so it’s not crawled should the site need to be published before this page is ready so no one will accidentally stumble upon it until it’s ready. (could even put a password on it if you’d feel better.) I can then make updates and corrections to the page until it’s ready to be published. Then I change the name of the original URL page so I can replace the copy with the correct URL named page and turn on the SEO settings again. I can then delete the outdated page. This way any previous SEO will still follow the corrected updated page with the same URL name. (Full disclosure…I am not as concerned with the SEO because my sites are smaller (small non-profits and ind. contractors that just need a confirmation presence) but it’s a good work around for me this situation.
@sueago thank you very much for sharing this workaround!
