Once your website looks ready in the editor, the next step is to "Publish." Publishing means: syncing your current draft to the live version so others can view it via your URL.
This is different from auto-save. The editor saves your drafts as you work, but those drafts only affect the version you are editing. Only by clicking "Publish" will the latest content appear on your live URL.
It doesn't have to be perfect the first time, but please check the following:
The Free plan supports publishing multi-page websites, blogs, and stores. When you need to use your own custom domain, remove the Kanorio branding from the footer, or expand your storage and limits, you can upgrade to the Pro or Business plan.
For a detailed comparison, please read:
After clicking "Publish" in the toolbar for the first time, Kanorio will open the publishing settings for you to set your subdomain.
Subdomain is the brand name part of your free URL. For example, in mellowcoffee.kanorio.com, mellowcoffee is the subdomain.
Use your brand name, shop name, or a short, memorable combination. The system may suggest names based on your brand, but you can modify them.
For example:
mellowcoffee.kanorio.comlinan-design.kanorio.combrightpath-career-coach.kanorio.comSubdomains must follow these rules:
If a name is unavailable, the system will prompt you to try another. This is not a content error; it simply means the URL is taken or does not meet naming rules.
If you have purchased a domain like yourbrand.com, you can bind it in the publishing settings once you meet the plan requirements.
Custom Domain is the website address you own; in contrast, xxx.kanorio.com is the free subdomain provided by Kanorio. Setting up a custom domain requires adding specific records to your domain provider's DNS, so we recommend publishing with the free URL first and binding your custom domain later.

Once published, Kanorio syncs your current draft to the live version and automatically handles search and indexing tasks in the background: updating the Sitemap and the last modified time for each page (which Google uses for re-crawling), notifying search engines via IndexNow, adding descriptions to images missing ALT text (1 credit per call), and updating your overall SEO health score.
Sitemap is a list of pages provided for search engines to read. It helps search engines discover your pages, but it does not mean Google will immediately rank your site at the top of search results; indexing takes time.
After publishing:
After the first publish, daily updates are simple:
If there are unsynced changes in your draft, the toolbar will show a reminder. This tells you: "The version in the editor is newer than the live site." Don't forget to publish again.
Yes. Unpublishing makes your live URL temporarily inaccessible, but it does not delete your edited content. You can republish at any time. If you are considering permanent deletion, please check if you need to back up your data first.

Once your site is live, you can share your URL and further configure custom domains, SEO, and traffic analytics.
Once published, others can view the latest version via your live URL. For search engine results, indexing and ranking take time and will not appear immediately upon publishing.
Check the on-screen prompts. Common reasons include not setting an available subdomain, content not meeting the current plan's public restrictions, incomplete required fields, or lack of management permissions for the site.
Changes are saved in the draft. Please return to the editor and click "Publish" to sync the new draft to the live version.
Yes, you can adjust the available subdomain name in the publishing settings. However, after changing it, the previously shared URL may no longer lead visitors to your site. If you have shared it widely, please change it with caution.
No. Every website can be published using the xxx.kanorio.com format first. A custom domain is an upgrade feature available once you meet the plan requirements.
Yes. Once taken offline, the live site will stop displaying to the public, but the content will not be automatically deleted. You can republish whenever needed.
