Preview & Publish
Before your public page goes live, you can preview exactly what visitors will see. Once you are happy, publishing takes one click. And if you need to make changes later or take the page offline, that is just as simple.
Previewing your page
Section titled “Previewing your page”The preview shows you a pixel-perfect version of your public page as visitors will experience it. Use it to check everything before going live.
How to preview
Section titled “How to preview”- Open Settings and navigate to the Public Page section.
- Click Preview.
- A preview of your page opens, showing your banner, bio, sections, tracks, and contact form exactly as they will appear.
What to check in the preview
Section titled “What to check in the preview”Run through this quick checklist:
| Check | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Banner | Does it look good? Is it cropped well? |
| Bio | Any typos? Does it read well? |
| Social links | Are the right platforms listed? Do the icons look correct? |
| Sections | Are they in the right order? Do the titles make sense? |
| Tracks | Are the right tracks visible in each section? |
| Artwork | Do tracks have cover art? Are auto-generated visuals acceptable? |
| Display modes | Does grid vs. list work for each section? |
| Overall feel | Does the page represent you well? |
If anything needs adjusting, close the preview, make your changes in the settings, and preview again.
Publishing your page
Section titled “Publishing your page”When the preview looks good, you are ready to go live.
- Click Publish in the public page settings.
- Your page is immediately accessible at your chosen URL (e.g.,
producerdashboard.app/your-slug). - That is it. Your portfolio is live.
There is no build process, no waiting, no approval queue. Publishing is instant.
First-time publishing
Section titled “First-time publishing”The first time you publish, confirm your URL slug is correct. This is the URL you will be sharing with people, so double-check the spelling.
After publishing, visit the URL in a browser to see your live page. Everything should match what you saw in the preview.
Making changes after publishing
Section titled “Making changes after publishing”Your public page is not locked after publishing. You can make changes at any time, and they go live immediately.
What you can change
Section titled “What you can change”- Banner, bio, social links — update your branding whenever you want
- Accent colour — change the colour scheme on the fly
- Sections — add, remove, or reorder sections

How changes work
Section titled “How changes work”- Open the public page settings.

Unpublishing your page
Section titled “Unpublishing your page”If you need to take your page offline — maybe you are rebranding, taking a break, or just want to pause your public presence — you can unpublish.
- Open the public page settings.
- Click Unpublish.
- Your URL immediately stops working. Visitors see a “page not found” message.
What unpublishing does
Section titled “What unpublishing does”- Your URL returns a not-found page
- All your settings, sections, and content are preserved
- Nothing is deleted — your page is just hidden
- You can republish at any time to bring it back
What unpublishing does not do
Section titled “What unpublishing does not do”- It does not affect your share links. Active share links keep working.
- It does not delete any tracks from your library.
- It does not change your settings. Everything is saved for when you want to come back.
Republishing
Section titled “Republishing”To bring your page back online after unpublishing:
- Open the public page settings.
- Click Publish.
- Your page is live again at the same URL.
All your content, sections, and settings are restored exactly as they were.
Common workflows
Section titled “Common workflows”Launching for the first time
Section titled “Launching for the first time”- Set up your URL, banner, bio, and social links.
- Add sections with your best tracks.
- Preview the page.
- Publish.
- Share the URL in your social bios, email signature, and with anyone who should see your work.
Updating with new music
Section titled “Updating with new music”- Add new tracks to the relevant bucket in your library.
- Open your public page section settings.
- If using “Select tracks” mode, check the boxes for the new tracks.

Taking a break

- It goes offline immediately.
- When you are ready, republish with one click.
- Preview on mobile too. Resize your browser window or open the preview URL on your phone to see the responsive layout.
- You do not need everything perfect before publishing. A page with three great tracks is better than no page at all. You can always add more later.
- After publishing, send the URL to a friend and ask for their honest first impression. A fresh pair of eyes catches things you might miss.
- Bookmark your own public page URL so you can check it quickly anytime.
