Publishing
Building and publishing are separate steps: your changes only go live when you choose to publish them, so you can keep iterating in chat without affecting the version people are currently using.
Publish your Bool
Click Publish in the workspace header. The button shows what state you’re in:
- Publish — you haven’t published this Bool yet
- Publish update — you have unpublished changes
- Up to date — the live version already matches what you’re looking at
Publishing is fast — Bool has already staged the build, so there’s no long deploy wait.
Once published, you get a live URL at <your-slug>.bool.so. The publish
popover also gives you a QR code and share buttons for social platforms, and
lets you copy the link directly.
Who can see it
Every Bool has a visibility setting, independent of whether you’ve published:
- Public link — anyone with the URL can view the live app
- Workspace only — only members of your workspace can view it
- Private — only people you’ve explicitly invited can view it (requires a paid plan — see Plans and billing)
This controls who can view the deployed app, not who can edit it in Bool — see Sharing and collaborators for editor access.
The Bool badge
Free-plan apps show a small “Built with Bool” badge on the published app. Upgrading to Plus removes it — see Plans and billing.
