Every project can be published and shared with viewers. Publishing is the act of setting a project’s web address and security. Published projects can be shared in various ways.
In this guide:
Publish
Once a project is ready to go live, publish it in order to share with others. Projects can be published from within the editor and in the workspace dashboard. To publish or edit publishing settings:

- Select
Publish & share
from the project settings in the workspace dashboard, or from within the project editor.
- Enter your desired web address.
- Select your desired security & access type.
- If No restrictions, Logged access, or Secure embed security types were chose, move on.
- If the Plain password protected security type was chosen, input your desired password.
- If the Sign-in required security type was chosen, select the ways viewers can sign in.
- If either Plain password protected or Sign-in required security types were chosen, set which project pages are restricted and unrestricted.
- Select
Publish
- Once published, you are ready to share by entering the Share tab of the Publish & share interface**.**
Keep in mind
- You can modify publishing settings at any time by returning to the Publish & share interface.
- You can unpublish projects by returning to the Publish & share interface and selecting
Unpublish
- A paid plan is required to publish
Web address
The project’s web address is the URL that is shown to viewers in their web browser’s address bar. There are two options when choosing a project’s web address:

Home page URL
Standard
Standard web addresses prepend live.standards.site/ to your chosen address.
Custom
Custom web addresses use connected domains and subdomains that have been added to the workspace the project is in. See how to add custom domains: Connect a custom domain
Block search engines
Enable this setting to block search engines from showing your Standards site in search results. This can be helpful for sites that should be private.
Subdirectories
Also listed is the URLs for each of your pages, which are typically the name of the page. These must be unique and can be changed from this interface or from the Page settings in the editor.
Security & access
The project’s security & access settings controls who and how people access your project. This ranges widely, as some projects are fully open to the public, while others are restricted to internal use only and kept secure.

Security & access types
Standard
No restrictions
- Fully open to the public; viewable by anyone on the web that knows the web address or is linked to it. This is ideal for projects that can be shared with anyone.
Plain password protected
- Secured from public access; a plain password must be entered correctly to view the project.
