Unpublish your site

Learn how to unpublish your entire live Studio.Design website, including step-by-step instructions, important things to know, and how to republish it later.

If you want to make a published Studio.Design website inaccessible, you can unpublish it.

Once unpublished, anyone trying to access the URL will see a 404 page, and the site can no longer be viewed externally.

Steps

  1. Open the project for the site you want to unpublish.

  2. From the [Project Settings] menu on the dashboard, go to [Publish Settings] to open the publish settings panel.

  3. Click [Unpublish] in the top right of the publish panel.

  4. Review the notes, then click [Unpublish] again in the modal to confirm.

  5. Once unpublished, open the URL to confirm that the 404 page appears.

Unpublishing individual pages

If you want to unpublish only certain pages rather than the entire site, use page-level publish settings instead.

Republishing a site

To make an unpublished site live again, just follow the normal publishing steps.

If you're using a custom domain, you'll need to reissue and reconnect your TLS certificate. It can take up to 72 hours for the settings to take effect and for your site to go live again.
