# How to publish

> Step-by-step publish flow in Mythex — verify email, choose a slug, deploy, and unpublish.

# How to publish

<Steps>
  <Step title="Verify your email">
    Publishing requires a verified email. Complete verification from the prompt in-app or [verify-email](https://mythex.ai/verify-email).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Publish">
    From the project workspace, open the **Publish** dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a slug">
    Pick an available slug. Taken slugs fail — try another name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy">
    Confirm deploy. Mythex snapshots the project and boots hosting (scale-to-zero style).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the URL">
    Open the public URL (branded host such as `{slug}.mythex.ai` depending on configuration) and share it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Updating a published app

After you change the project:

1. Confirm Preview looks right
2. Publish again / redeploy from the publish UI (as exposed in product)
3. Hard-refresh the public URL if you still see an old version (CDN caches can lag briefly)

## Unpublish

Use the same Publish UI to **unpublish** when you want the public app taken down. Your project files remain in Mythex.
