Publishing Overview

Publishing your tent makes it available on the web with a unique URL that you can share with your audience. The process takes a few clicks — and the publish dialog packs some useful options worth knowing about.

​
Publishing Process

Make sure you preview your tent first. Then, in the tent editor, click Publish at the top right. A screenshot of the Ready to publish dialog with the Made with Tented badge toggle, password protection, and a custom URL field. The dialog gives you three options before you go live:
  • Remove “Made with Tented” badge — hide the badge on your published page (available on paid plans).
  • Password protection — click Add Password to gate the page. Great for internal reviews and client previews.
  • Customize URL — replace the auto-generated ID with a friendly slug, like /launch-webinar. You can also change it later via Tent Actions > Customize URL.
Click Publish, and within seconds you’ll get your live URL: A screenshot of the Tent Published confirmation showing the live URL. Your tent is now accessible worldwide. In the editor, the status badge switches to Published, and you’ll see View Live URL and Publish Update buttons at the top. A screenshot of a published tent live on the web at its custom URL.
Once published, edits don’t go live automatically — keep iterating safely in the editor, then click Publish Update when you’re ready to ship the changes.

​
About Domains and URLs

Your tent gets a unique URL on your workspace’s subdomain:
  • Format: https://[workspace-slug].tented-pages.com/[custom-slug-or-id]
  • SSL certificate included
  • Global CDN for fast loading
Pick the path yourself in the publish dialog (or via Tent Actions > Customize URL) — /launch-webinar beats /45977a6f-87b6... on any billboard.
Serve tents from your own domain with a CNAME alias (paid plans). See our Custom Domains guide.

​
Password-protecting a tent

Want to keep a published tent private — for an internal review, a client preview, or a gated launch? Add a password, and visitors must enter it before they can see the live page. You can do this two ways:
  • While publishing — toggle Add Password in the publish dialog.
  • Anytime after — on the Tent Details page, choose Tent Actions > Add Password.
Either opens the password panel. Click Add Password, enter one (at least 4 characters), and Save. A screenshot of the Add password panel with a password field noting a 4-character minimum. From the same panel you can later change or remove the password. Remove it and the page is public again — no republish needed.
Password protection is available on paid plans.

​
Publishing Updates

When you publish updates to an existing tent, the important things stay stable: your URL doesn’t change, form submission data is preserved, and analytics keep tracking seamlessly. Update your content as often as you like without disrupting anything.

​
Unpublishing

Changed your mind? Tent Actions > Unpublish takes the page off the web — the URL goes inactive and the tent returns to Draft. You can republish anytime.
