Publishing
Publishing builds your project and deploys it to production on Vercel, on a secure public URL. It takes one click and works with every framework Frontend supports.
Deploy to production
Section titled “Deploy to production”- Save your changes. Deploys build from the saved project, so while there are unsaved changes the header button reads Save.
- Click Deploy in the header, then Deploy in the panel that opens.
Frontend builds the project with its framework’s production settings, applies the Production environment variables, and deploys it. Your app goes live at <handle>.vercel.app, and you can follow the build in the deployment logs.
Deploy again any time to ship your latest saved changes.
Share a preview
Section titled “Share a preview”To share work in progress, click Share. Frontend builds a preview deployment of your saved changes and gives you a link. Share previews work on every plan, don’t count as published projects, and don’t collect analytics.
Deployment logs
Section titled “Deployment logs”Click View deployments in the Deploy panel to see each build, labelled Production or Preview, with its status and build logs. If a deploy fails, the log shows why; you can paste it into an agent and ask it to fix the build.
Unpublish
Section titled “Unpublish”To take the site offline, click Unpublish in the Deploy panel and confirm. The live deployment is removed and the URL stops serving; the project, its versions and its domains stay in Frontend, and you can deploy again later.
Deploy to your own Vercel account
Section titled “Deploy to your own Vercel account”By default, projects deploy to Frontend’s Vercel account. To deploy to your own instead, connect Vercel in Team → Integrations. New deploys then go to your Vercel account, where you can see and manage the projects directly. If you disconnect it later, each project moves back to Frontend on its next deploy.
What’s included
Section titled “What’s included”- HTTPS on the default URL and on every custom domain
- Analytics, set up automatically on the first deploy
- The Frontend badge, which you can turn off in Settings → Advanced → Frontend Badge
Deploying to production and custom domains are part of the Plus plan, which includes up to 100 published projects. Share previews are available on every plan.
