Publish your project

Deploy your project to a live URL, control who can access the published app, configure site metadata, and update or unpublish at any time.

Publish your project

Quick start: publish your first project

If you just want to get a project live, follow these three steps. The rest of this page covers metadata, security checks, and updating a published app.

  1. Click Publish

    In your project, click Publish in the top-right corner of the Builder. On mobile, tap the share button to open more options, then select Publish project.

  2. Confirm the settings

    RIB automatically fills in a live URL ([name].ribcreative.com), site title, description, and icon. You can edit any of these now or later. A basic security scan runs automatically while the dialog is open.

  3. Click Publish again

    When the deploy finishes, RIB shows the live link. To push later changes, open the same dialog and click Update.

You can also publish from chat. Ask RIB to publish, deploy, ship, or go live, and the agent handles the deploy while respecting your workspace settings.

How publishing works in RIB

Each time you publish, RIB deploys a snapshot of the current project version to a live URL. Future changes are not automatically published.

To deploy new changes, click Publish → Update. If you do not see recent changes on your live site, update the published version from the Builder.

FAQ

Are later project changes published automatically?

No. Your live app stays on the last published snapshot until you open Publish and click Update.

Can I change the URL, title, description, or icon later?

Yes. Open the Publish dialog, edit the settings, and publish the update. Changes to the managed URL may also change the link you share.

What happens if the security scan finds a problem?

The dialog shows the result before publishing. Resolve any blocking issue, then run the check again. Warnings should be reviewed before you continue.

Can I publish from chat?

Yes. Ask RIB to publish, deploy, ship, or go live. The agent uses the same project and workspace publishing rules.

Who can open the published app?

Publishing creates a live URL. If your app requires sign-in or has its own access rules, those rules determine what visitors can use. Workspace permissions separately control who can edit and publish the project.

How do I take the app offline?

Open the project from the dashboard and select Unpublish. This removes the live deployment without deleting your project or its Builder changes.
