Overview

When you publish a project, it goes live on the web. Viewers can navigate your slides, interact with animations, and experience the full presentation in their browser.

​
How to publish

  1. Open your project in the editor
  2. Click the Publish button in the top bar
  3. Your project goes live instantly
Once published, you get a shareable link (e.g., yourproject.faces.site). You can also connect a custom domain.

​
Updating

Every time you make changes and click Update, the live version updates instantly. There’s no separate deploy step.

​
Unpublishing

To take your project offline:
  1. Open the project in the editor
  2. Open the publish settings
  3. Click Unpublish
The link will stop working and the project returns to draft state.

​
Layouts

When you publish, you can choose between two layouts:
  • Slideshow: viewers navigate one slide at a time with arrows or swipe gestures. Great for guided narratives where you control the pacing.
  • Stacked: turns your presentation into a scrollable single-page experience, like a web article or landing page.
You can switch between layouts at any time after publishing by clicking the palette icon. Same content, different format. Learn more about layouts.

​
The “Made in Faces” badge

Published projects display a small “Made in Faces” badge by default. On any paid plan, you can turn this off:
  1. Open your published project
  2. Toggle the badge off in the publish settings
PDFs include a small link to the interactive web version on the first page. This cannot be removed, as it provides access to the full interactive experience.

​
What happens when you publish

  • Your latest version becomes the live version
  • The project is accessible at its subdomain or custom domain
  • Search engines can index it if you enable discoverability
  • Access controls determine who can view it
