Publishing Your Site

Find the Publish button in the top right corner of the editor. Clicking it opens a panel where you can publish your site to make it live.

When you create a new page, whether through the editor or by prompting Flint, it is created as a draft. Drafts are visible in your editor preview but are not live on your public site until you explicitly publish them.

To publish a new page and make it live:

1. 1.Open the left sidebar and find your page. Make sure its status is set to Ready (not Hidden). Pages marked Hidden will not appear on the live site even after publishing.
2. 2.Click the Publish dropdown in the top-right corner of the editor.
3. 3.Click Publish Now to start a deployment.
4. 4.Wait for the deployment to complete. This typically takes under a minute.

Once deployed, visit the live URL to confirm the page is accessible.

If you see a 404 error after publishing:

• •Check that the page is not marked as Hidden in the sidebar. Hidden pages are excluded from production builds.
• •If it was Hidden, change the status to Ready, then open the Publish dropdown and publish again.
• •Wait for the new deployment to finish before checking the URL again.

Before publishing, you can preview your current page using the Share button. This generates a live preview link that shows your latest changes, allowing you to review or share with your team before going live.

When you're ready, click Publish to make your site live. Your changes will be available to the public at your configured domain.

Every page in your site has a visibility state: Hidden or visible by default.

• •Hidden pages will not appear on your live site, even after publishing. Use this for drafts or pages you're still working on.
• •Pages without a "Hidden" badge are visible by default and will be included when you publish.

To change a page's visibility:

1. 1.Open the left sidebar in the Flint editor
2. 2.Look for the "Hidden" badge next to each page name — pages without a badge are ready to publish
3. 3.Click the badge to toggle it, or hover over the page and click the three-dot menu to change the status
4. 4.Publish your site for the changes to take effect

Tip: If your published page appears blank, check whether it's marked as Hidden. This is the most common cause of blank pages after publishing.

If a page is marked as Hidden, it will not be included in your production build. This means analytics and tracking scripts, including Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and any other third-party tracking tools, will not fire on that page.

Visitors who land on a hidden page will not be tracked, and any conversion events tied to that page will not be recorded. This can silently skew your campaign data if you're sending paid traffic to a page that is still marked as Hidden.

Before launching a campaign or enabling tracking for a page:

1. 1.Confirm the page is not marked as Hidden in the Flint editor
2. 2.Publish your site so the change takes effect
3. 3.Verify the tracking script is firing using your analytics tool's debug or real-time view

Note: Tracking scripts are always present in the editor preview, but data is only collected reliably from live, visible pages in production.
