Publish your Lovable project

1. 1

   Click the "Publish" button in the top-right corner of your project editor.

   This opens the publishing tool where you can review and confirm your settings.

2. 2

   Review the suggested website address and other settings, then click "Publish" again.

   This deploys your project to a live URL. Lovable also runs a quick security check during this step.

3. 3

   To update your live site with new changes, open the publish dialog again and click "Publish changes".

   Your live site doesn't automatically update; you need to manually publish changes to make them visible.

4. 4

   To change how your site appears in search results or link previews (like its title or description), ask Lovable in chat.

   Lovable generates this information automatically, but you can customize it by prompting the AI.

Publish my project. I want it to be live at a shareable URL.

Deploy

To make your project available on the internet so others can see and use it.

Snapshot

A specific saved version of your project at a certain point in time. Only this saved version is made live when you publish.

Metadata

Information about your website, like its title, description, and preview image, that helps search engines and social media understand what your site is about.

Favicon

The small icon that appears in a browser tab next to your website's title.

OG image

The image that appears when someone shares a link to your website on social media.

Subdomain

A part of a larger website address, like 'my-todos' in 'my-todos.lovable.app'.

RLS policy

Rules that control which rows (pieces of data) in a database a user is allowed to see or interact with.

Schema-level access control

Rules that control who can access or change the structure of your database.

Vulnerabilities

Weaknesses in your project's code that could be exploited by malicious users.

• Your live site won't show your latest changes until you click "Publish changes" again.
• If you're on a Free or Pro plan, your published app will be public, so ensure you're ready to share it widely.
• Publishing errors can occur due to build issues; check the error message and ask Lovable for help if needed.
• Renaming your project doesn't change its live website address; you need to update the URL subdomain separately.
• Publishing does not expose your project's code or grant access to your editor; it only makes the app available at the live URL.
