# Publish/Unpublish Pages

## How to publish/unpublish your pages online

You can control whether a page is visible to customers by publishing or unpublishing it from the Limio Page Builder.

### What is publishing?

Publishing makes your page live and accessible via the browser. Any updates made in the Page Builder only become visible to customers after the page is republished.

### What is unpublishing?

Unpublishing removes the page from public access. Visitors who try to access the URL will receive an error. You can still view and edit the page in the Page Builder; it just won’t be available online.

### What is preview?

**Preview** allows you to see how your page will look to customers before making it public. This is useful for seeing how layout and design will look in the browser for desktop, mobile or other devices

Preview does **not** make the page accessible to customers and does **not** require publishing. Note that Preview does not currently support mocking up data (for example a cart or a subscription).

### How to publish a page

1. In the **Limio Page Builder**, open the page you'd like to publish.
2. Make sure your changes are saved via the **Save** button.
3. Click on **Builds** and then hit **Rebuild** to start building your page.
4. After a few minutes, the **Page** can be published by clicking on Publish.
5. The page will now be live at the page’s configured URL.

✅ Tip: After publishing, open the page in a private browser window to confirm it appears as expected.

#### When should I republish?

You should republish your page whenever:

* You make layout, content, or component changes.
* You switch page templates or layouts (e.g. switching to the **60/40 layout**).
* You change the authentication settings or Page SEO.
* You update offers or pricing and want them reflected on the live page, or you need to update their [version](https://docs.limio.com/product/pricing/how-to-manage-offers-and-add-ons-versions-with-publish).

Changes are only visible once published.

### How to unpublish a page

1. Go to the **Limio Page Builder** and open the page you want to remove from public view.
2. Click the **Build** button in the top right.
3. Select **Unpublish**
4. The page is now offline and cannot be accessed by customers.

🛑 Important: If the page was previously indexed by search engines, it may still appear in results temporarily. Consider using SEO settings or redirects for better control.

### How to preview a page

1. Open your page in the **Limio Page Builder**.
2. Make any required changes and click **Save**.
3. In the top-right corner, click **Preview**.
4. A new tab will open showing a preview version of your page.

🔒 The preview URL is only accessible to users logged into Limio. It cannot be shared externally.

## **Questions**

**Once published, can I make further edits?**

Yes, edit your page, save, and rebuild. The preview and publish will be available once successful.

**I made a global change in Settings impacting my whole Shop. Do I need to rebuild and republish all my changes?**

Yes, you can trigger a mass Rebuild by going to Operations > Mass Build and Publish. Learn more at: [mass-build-and-publish-pages](https://docs.limio.com/product/page-builder/how-to-publishunpublish-your-pages-online/mass-build-and-publish-pages "mention")

**My build isn't showing the Publish button.**
