Publishing and sharing
How to edit a web app after publishing
Yes. Open your project, describe the change, and review the saved draft. Visitors keep seeing the previous published version until you publish that page again. A successful build saves your work; it does not automatically release it.
Open the page you want to change
Open the project from My Projects. If it has several pages, use Pages to select the one you intend to edit. Check the preview and page name before sending your request. Start with a concrete change, such as “Add a minimum order of $50 to the quote calculator, explain the rule below the total, and keep the existing prices.”
Build and review your draft
Send the request through the project prompt bar. Wait for the saved result and interactive preview before evaluating the change. Code appearing during generation is progress, not a finished app. Test the exact behavior you requested with ordinary, empty, and boundary inputs. For the calculator example, try totals below, at, and above $50 and confirm the explanation matches the calculation.
Check what visitors currently see
Open Publishing and use Refresh status if needed. A page with unpublished edits can show Live - draft changes are not published. That means the live page still uses its earlier saved version. Open the live page separately to compare it with your draft. Do not use the private project canvas as proof that a change reached visitors.
Publish the selected page
Choose Publish changes to the selected page and let the safety check finish. Check the resulting publishing status, then reopen or refresh the live page. Repeat for other pages only when their changes are ready. Publishing the calculator does not automatically release a private contact page. An existing live link continues to open the newly published version at that address.
Handle a result you do not want
If the draft needs work, describe the correction and test again before publishing. If visitors should stop using a page, choose Make [page] private in Publishing; its editable draft remains. Taking a page offline also affects people reaching it through an embed or saved link. Keep a note of the expected behavior so your final check covers the original feature as well as the new edit.
