Use	When
`Share` tab	You want specific people to view, comment, edit, or manage a private page.
`Publish` tab	You want a public read-only version that anyone with the link can read.

Public site warning

Check Visibility before publishing. Public sites may appear in search engines, Unlisted sites are hidden from search engines and public listings, and Access code sites ask visitors for a generated code.

Before you publish

Review the current page and any sub-pages you plan to include.
Wait until recent edits are saved before publishing.
Remove private notes that should not appear on the public site.
Confirm your role. Publishing can be unavailable if you do not have permission to publish the Space.

Open Publish

Open the Workspace page.
Select Share in the top navbar.
Switch to the Publish tab.
Review the Publish Space section.
Enter or update Site name.
Choose Visibility.
Choose Published pages.
Select Publish Space.

Choose Visibility

Visibility	What it means
`Public`	Anyone can open the site, and search engines may index it.
`Unlisted`	Anyone with the link can open it, but it is hidden from search engines and public listings.
`Access code`	Visitors must enter the generated access code before they can view the site.

Choose Published pages

Use Published pages to choose what appears in the public site. Choose Only this page for a single-page site. Choose This page and other pages to include additional pages from the Space. The current page stays included and is marked Current page.

Publish, update, or unpublish

Use Publish Space to create the public version.
Use Update published Space after editing the source page.
Use Copy public link to copy the public URL.
Use Open published Space to view the public site.
Use Unpublish in the Unpublish Space section to remove public access.

Use Appearance

After a Space is published, the Publish tab can show Appearance. Use it to open public site appearance controls for the existing site.

Limitations

Workspace Sites are read-only public versions, not live collaborative pages.
Publishing does not grant edit access. Use the Share tab for collaboration.
A newly published site depends on the page being saved before publishing.

Troubleshooting

If Publish is disabled, check your permission to publish the Space.
If saving fails, follow the message Could not save the current page before publishing. Try again after the document syncs.
If the link shows old content, open Share, switch to Publish, and use Update published Space.
If the site should no longer be visible, use Unpublish.
