# Publish overview

> How Mythex publish works — snapshot, public URL, and how it differs from the sandbox preview.

# Publish overview

**Publish** takes a snapshot of your project and hosts it on a public URL so anyone can open it — separate from your editable sandbox preview.

## Preview vs published

|           | Sandbox preview                        | Published app                      |
| --------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| Audience  | You (and collaborators) while building | Anyone with the link               |
| Lifecycle | Pauses when idle                       | Hosted deployment with plan limits |
| Purpose   | Iterate quickly                        | Share / ship                       |

## What you need

* A project that runs in Preview
