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](/working-with-tents/previewing-tents) 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.

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](/configuring-tented/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. Learn how to view, manage, and export form submission data.
