# Publishing Artifacts

> Share your artifacts with a public URL.

Publish artifacts to share them with others. Published artifacts get a public URL that anyone can access.

## Publishing an Artifact

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the artifact">
    View the artifact you want to publish in the artifact viewer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Publish">
    Select the Publish option from the artifact actions menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose visibility">
    Select who can access the published artifact.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get the link">
    Copy the public URL to share with others.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Visibility Options

### Private

Only you can access. The default state for all artifacts.

### Unlisted

Anyone with the link can view. Not discoverable publicly.

### Public

Visible to anyone. May appear in public listings.

## What Gets Published

When you publish an artifact:

* The current version becomes publicly accessible
* Updates require republishing
* The conversation history is not included
* Only the artifact content is shared

## Use Cases

### Portfolio Pieces

Share your best work with potential clients or employers.

### Prototypes

Show stakeholders a working preview of a concept.

### Documentation

Distribute guides or reference materials.

### Landing Pages

Test marketing pages before full deployment.

## Managing Published Artifacts

### Update Content

Edit the artifact normally, then republish to update the public version.

### Unpublish

Change visibility back to Private to remove public access.

### Delete

Permanently remove the artifact and its public URL.

## Published URL Format

Published artifacts are accessible at:

```
slug.flast.app
```

Each artifact gets a unique slug that becomes its subdomain.

## Best Practices

### Review Before Publishing

Check for:

* Spelling and grammar
* Placeholder content that should be replaced
* Sensitive information that shouldn't be public

### Use Descriptive Titles

Help others understand what the artifact contains.

### Consider Your Audience

Ensure the content is appropriate for public viewing.
