# Publish your app

Give your app its very own unique and memorable link, ready to share with friends, clients, or your audience. Once your app is ready, just follow these easy steps to make it live and accessible online!

***

## Step 1: Click the Publish Button

From your app dashboard, find the **Publish** button at the top right corner. This is your gateway to making your app available on the web.

Click the **Publish** button to open the publishing options. Here, you’ll see your app’s default link, which typically looks like this: "your-app-name.buildaispace.app"

## Step 2: Customize Your App Link

You can personalize your app’s link by clicking the **Custom Domain** button in the publishing options. This opens two flexible options:

1. **Change your app’s subdomain** under the buildaispace.app domain. For example, switch from: "mynewapp.buildaispace.app"  to "video-generator.buildaispace.app"

2. **Set up your own custom domain** to have a fully branded URL that uses your own domain name (this feature is available on certain plans).

This flexibility helps you create a link that’s easy to remember, on-brand, and professional.

## Step 3: Share Your App Link!

Once your app is published and your link is set, it’s ready to share with the world! Post it on social media, include it in emails, add it to your website, or send it directly to friends and clients.

***

## Step 4: Keep Your App Updated

When you make changes to your app after publishing, you’ll see a small red dot on the **Publish** button, indicating that there are unpublished updates.

To publish the latest version:

* Click the **Publish** button again.
* You’ll see an “Updates available” message with an **Update** button.
* Click **Update** to push your changes live.

## Step 5: Hide Your App When Needed

If you want to temporarily take your app offline, open the publish options and click **Unpublish app**. This action removes your app’s live link and hides it until you publish it again.

***

## Summary

* **Click the Publish button** in your dashboard to open publishing options.
* **Customize your app link** by clicking the **Custom Domain** button. Choose to change your subdomain under buildai.space or set up your own custom domain.
* For a full walkthrough on setting up a custom domain, visit: [How to Setup a Custom Domain](/launch/how-to-setup-custom-domain)
* **Share your app’s link** easily once published.
* **Update your app** anytime by clicking the red dot on the Publish button and selecting **Update**.

Now you’re all set to launch your app with a link that fits your style—quickly, easily, and professionally!
