Publishing moves your tested Develop version to Production — the live site visitors can open.
Before you publish
- Review preview on desktop and mobile (Preview).
- Set project name, icon, and description in Launch / project settings.
- Pick a URL slug — usually
yourname.websterai.deon Webster hosting.
Publish flow
From Overview → Deployment:
- Click Publish changes (or Publish on first launch).
- Webster validates, builds, and runs smoke checks.
- If checks pass, Production switches to the new version.
- If checks fail, your current live site stays up — fix in Develop and try again.
Unpublish
Unpublish takes the public site offline while keeping your project and Develop work intact. Visitors see a unavailable page; you can publish again anytime.
Use unpublish when:
- You need major rework before going live again
- A seasonal site should temporarily disappear
- You are migrating to a custom domain elsewhere
Slug and custom domain
- Slug — the subdomain part on Webster hosting (
slug.websterai.de). - Custom domain — add a CNAME to point your domain at Webster (instructions in Launch settings).
You can change slug before first publish; after traffic exists, changes may need care to avoid broken links.
“Edit on Webster” badge
Toggle whether visitors see a small Edit on Webster badge linking back to remix or learn more. Turn it off for fully white-label launches when your plan allows.
Allow remix
Optional Allow remix lets visitors copy your public project as a starting template. Disable for client work or proprietary designs.
