Publish your site
Section titled “Publish your site”- In the workspace, press Publish (top right).
- SKAEL builds your draft and deploys it: Building…, then Deploying….
- When it is done you see Your app is live, with Visit site.
Your site gets a free SKAEL address with HTTPS. On paid plans you can also connect your own domain.
Updating a live site
Section titled “Updating a live site”After you publish, keep working as usual — changes stay in the draft until you publish again. The button changes to Publish changes when there is something new to publish. Each publish is saved as a version.
Draft (next to Publish) saves the current version without publishing it: Nothing is live yet.
The publish menu
Section titled “The publish menu”The menu next to Publish shows the live status: Live (with when it was deployed), Not published yet, Deploying…, or Finishing publish — a new address can take up to a few tens of minutes to become reachable everywhere.
When a publish fails
Section titled “When a publish fails”| Message | What to do |
|---|---|
| Publish failed | Open the build console from the message, or ask the AI to fix the build. |
| This project cannot be built yet | The project has no build setup — ask the AI to set it up. |
| Build paused | The same version failed to build 3 times, so SKAEL stopped retrying. Make any change and publish again. |
| Last publish failed | Your newest publish didn’t go out. |
Sleeping and always-on
Section titled “Sleeping and always-on”A published site normally sleeps when it has no visitors; the next visitor wakes it, which takes a moment. Always-on apps never sleep and respond immediately — Standard includes 1, Pro 3 and Business 10 (Hosting 2 and 3 include some too). See Plans.
What counts against your plan
Section titled “What counts against your plan”Each publish builds your site, and build time counts against your plan’s monthly build minutes. Failed builds don’t count.
