Publish your Lovable project

1. 1

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

   This opens the publishing menu where you can set up your live website.

2. 2

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

   This makes your project live at a unique web address. You can change the address or who can see it before publishing.

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 publish new versions to show your latest work.

Publish my app to my-project.lovable.app and make it visible to anyone with the link.

Snapshot

A specific saved version of your project at a certain moment in time, like a photo.

URL subdomain

Site metadata

Information about your website that helps browsers and search engines understand what it's about, like the title, description, and icon.

Favicon

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

OG image

The image that appears when you share your website link on social media or in messages.

Quick scan

A fast check for common security problems in your project before it goes live.

Deep scan

A more thorough security check of your project's code for hidden vulnerabilities.

Custom domain

Your own personalized website address, like 'mycompany.com', instead of the default 'lovable.app' address.

• Your live site will not show your latest changes until you explicitly click "Publish changes."
• Publishing from the project chat uses your credits, while publishing through the dialog is free.
• If you downgrade your plan, you might not be able to publish changes to apps with restricted access (e.g., 'Workspace' or 'Custom' visibility) unless you change them to 'Public' first.
• Publishing does not expose your project's code or grant editor access to others; it only makes the app available at a URL.
• If your project has critical security issues and your workspace has "Block publishing with critical issues" enabled, you won't be able to publish until those issues are fixed.
