Publishing and scheduling

Publish in one click, or schedule the launch

Press Publish when a page is ready, or pick the time you want it to go live and come down. Pages are served from the edge on your BoltLander address, over HTTPS.

*No credit card required

Control when and how a page goes live

  • Publish with one button

    Press Publish in the builder or on the page screen. BoltLander saves what is on your screen first, so you never publish an older draft, and checks that the page can take leads. If something blocks the publish, the page screen says why and keeps the attempt in its history.

    • Publishing again with no changes does nothing, so you cannot cut a duplicate version by accident
    • A form that cannot take leads blocks the publish, with the reason
    • The page is built once when you publish and served from the edge
  • Schedule go-live and take-down

    Set a date and time for a page to go live and, if you like, a time for it to come down. It suits offers that start and end on a date. A schedule runs as you, with your permissions checked again at the moment it fires.

    • A page usually goes live within a minute of its scheduled time
    • If a scheduled publish is blocked, the page screen shows the reason
    • You get a notification in the app when a scheduled publish happens
  • Roll back, preview and review

    Every publish is saved as a version. Make an earlier version live again, restore it to your draft, or compare any two versions element by element. Share a draft with a preview link, and switch on approval so a second person signs off before anything is published.

    • Making an old version live does not touch your draft
    • Preview links can expire, have a password and a view limit
    • With approval required, an edit after approval needs approving again

Taking a page down, gracefully

  • Choose what visitors get

    When you unpublish, send visitors a “gone” page, a “not found” page, a redirect to another address, or another live page at the same address.

  • HTTPS on your address

    Your workspace address is secured with HTTPS, so there is no certificate to buy or renew.

  • Sitemap and robots.txt

    Your address serves a sitemap and a robots.txt for you.

  • Rename without breaking links

    If you rename your workspace address, the old one keeps forwarding visitors to the new one for a while.

  • Kept informed

    The page screen shows when a page was last published, its live address and any blocked attempts.

  • Your own domain, soon

    Custom domains are launching soon. Your workspace address keeps working in the meantime.

Go live in three steps

  1. Step 1: Build and save

    The builder saves as you work, and shows when everything is saved.

  2. Step 2: Publish now, or schedule

    Press Publish, or set the time the page should go live and come down.

  3. Step 3: Check the live page

    Open the live address from the builder or the page screen and see exactly what visitors see.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my page live?

On your workspace address, a BoltLander address based on your workspace name, secured with HTTPS. Custom domains are coming soon.

Do I need to publish again after every edit?

Yes. Your draft saves as you work, but visitors keep seeing the last published version until you press Publish (the button reads Publish changes on a live page). Changes to your design system are the exception: they reach live pages without republishing.

How exact is scheduling?

Schedules are checked once a minute, so a page usually goes live within a minute of the time you set. You can schedule from a minute ahead to 400 days ahead, and set a separate time for the page to come down.

What if a publish is blocked?

The page screen shows the last attempt and why it did not go through, for example a review that is still pending, an address already used by another page, or a form that cannot take leads. Nothing goes live half-finished.

Can I undo a publish?

Yes. Every publish is saved as a version. Make an earlier version live again with one click, or unpublish the page and choose what visitors get instead.

Can I show an unpublished draft to a client?

Yes. Create a preview link from the page screen. It shows the draft to someone with no account, expires after the time you choose, can have a password and a view limit, and is never counted in analytics.
