Overview

When you publish a project, it goes live on the web. Viewers can navigate your slides, interact with animations, and experience the full presentation in their browser. Publishing and collaboration are grouped under a single Share button in the editor top bar.

​
The Share popover

Click the green Share button to open a popover with two tabs:
TabPurpose
CollaborateInvite people to edit, manage editor access, and copy the project link
PublishPublish to the web, manage the live URL, update the published version, and download exports
Publish tab before publishing, with project preview, Publish, and Download actions
When a project is published, the Publish tab shows a small status dot:
  • Green: the live version matches your latest edits
  • Yellow: you have unpublished changes; click Update to push them live

​
How to publish

  1. Open your project in the editor
  2. Click Share in the top bar
  3. Open the Publish tab
  4. Click Publish
Your project goes live instantly. You get a shareable link (for example, yourproject.faces.site). You can also connect a custom domain.

​
Updating

After you make changes in the editor, open Share → Publish and click Update to push the latest version live. There is no separate deploy step.

​
Unpublishing

To take your project offline:
  1. Open the project in the editor
  2. Click Share → Publish
  3. Click Unpublish
The link stops working and the project returns to draft state.

​
Publish tab features

Once published, the Publish tab includes:
  • URL editor: choose a hostname, edit the path, copy the link, or open the live site
  • Open: open the published project in a new tab
  • Settings: access control, social link preview, and SEO discoverability
  • Analytics: view traffic for the published project
  • Download: export as PDF or PowerPoint (paid plans)
  • Update / Unpublish: push changes live or take the project offline
Published project controls for URL, settings, analytics, download, update, and unpublish

​
Layouts

Choose how viewers experience your published project in the editor settings panel (gear icon in the top bar):
  • Slideshow: viewers navigate one slide at a time with arrows or swipe gestures. Great for guided narratives where you control the pacing.
  • Scroll: turns your presentation into a scrollable single-page experience, like a web article or landing page.
You can switch layouts at any time; same content, different format. Learn more about layouts.

​
The “Made in Faces” badge

Published projects display a small “Made in Faces” badge by default. On any paid plan, you can turn this off in the editor Settings panel under Display “Faces” badge.

​
What happens when you publish

  • Your latest version becomes the live version
  • The project is accessible at its subdomain or custom domain
  • Search engines can index it if you enable discoverability
  • Access controls determine who can view it
