Preview gives project members a hosted version to review. Production is the public site. A Preview deploy never publishes your site.

​
Create a hosted Preview

fimo deploy commits pending changes, pushes the current Branch, updates that Branch’s Preview, and returns its Fimo Studio URL. Before it returns the Studio link, Fimo waits for the sandbox to answer. Use --no-wait only when you deliberately want to return after sync without that readiness check. If the current changes are already deployed, retrieve the link without deploying again:
The Preview is a review artifact, not your stable public website URL.
When content changes while you are viewing a hosted Preview in Studio, the existing page stays visible until the live preview is ready to display. Opening Edit mode can still show a loading screen while editing starts.

​
Publish production

Publish only after you have reviewed the Preview and merged the change into the project’s Production source Branch. Existing projects use main:
fimo deploy --publish pushes the configured Production source Branch and publishes it. fimo publish publishes the revision already on the Fimo remote without pushing. Fimo refuses either command from another Branch. Project managers can choose another source from Project Settings → Environments, on the Production card.
fimo deploy --publish makes the current Production source revision public. Use plain fimo deploy until you intend to go live.
