Publish your site

Before you start

• A generated draft. Editing never changes the live site until you publish.
• Owner or editor access. Viewers cannot publish.

Publish for the first time

1. Open the site editor.
2. Click Preview and check each page.
3. Click Publish.
4. Click Use a yaya domain in the Get a domain and publish dialog to go live at once.
5. Click Get a custom domain or Use a domain you already own instead to use your own name.

The dialog appears only until your site has a domain or has been published once. A free address looks like your-name.yayasite.com. To use your own domain, see Connect a domain you own or Buy a domain.

Publish later changes

Visitors keep seeing the old version until you publish the new one.
