# Publish & deploy

> Push your saved changes live from the dashboard, and re-publish whenever you update your site.

Your edits save automatically as you work — like a draft. **Publishing** is what makes them live: visitors only ever see published changes.

## Publish your site

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the publish panel">
    Click the **Publish** button in the top-right of the header bar. The panel shows your status, your live URL (once you have one), any custom domains, and an **SEO Settings** shortcut.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish">
    Click **Publish** inside the panel. A "Publishing project..." toast appears and the status badge switches to **Publishing** with a spinner.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Visit your live site">
    When it's done, the panel shows a **Published** status, your live URL under **Published site**, and a **Last published** time. Click the URL to open your site in a new tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Before your site has ever been published, the chat shows a one-click **Publish** button that deploys immediately without opening the panel. On mobile, a **Publish** button in the compact header deploys right away too.
</Tip>

## Re-publish after changes

Every change is saved to your project automatically, but saved isn't the same as live. To push your latest work out, open the publish panel again and click **Publish** — it redeploys with your newest code and content.

<Note>
  Set your page title, description, and share image in **Settings → SEO** before going live. After changing SEO settings, a yellow banner reminds you to publish to apply them.
</Note>

## Good to know

* **Custom domains** — on a premium plan, set one up in **Settings → Domains**; it works once your site is published.
* **Unpublishing** — to take your site offline, go to **Settings → General** and click **Unpublish** (with a confirmation step).
* **Changes not showing?** Try clearing your browser cache or opening the site in a private window.
* **Publish button disabled?** You need publish permissions — ask the project owner to check your role.
