Publishing compiles your blocks into static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and deploys them to your domain.

​
How It Works

When you publish, Pala:
  1. Compiles all blocks to optimized JavaScript
  2. Generates static HTML for every page
  3. Copies assets to the output directory
  4. Deploys files to your domain
Your site is accessible at https://yourdomain.com/ while the admin stays at https://yourdomain.com/admin/.

​
Publishing a Site

1

Click Publish

In the toolbar, click “Publish” (or press Cmd/Ctrl + P).
2

Confirm

In the dialog, click “Publish Changes” to confirm.
3

Wait for completion

Publishing typically takes 10-30 seconds. You’ll see a success message when done.
Your site is now live at your domain.

​
What Gets Published

Every publish includes:
  • All pages
  • All blocks (recompiled)
  • All assets (images, files)
  • Site configuration
Even if you only change one thing, Pala rebuilds the entire site to ensure consistency.

​
Auto-Save Behavior

Most changes auto-save:
  • Page content edits
  • Adding/removing blocks
  • Reordering blocks
Manual save required for:
  • Block editor (code/fields)
  • Section editor
  • Site settings editor
Always save in the block/section/site editor before publishing.

​
Troubleshooting

Publish fails with an error:
  • Check the error message for the specific block or page causing the issue
  • Review recent changes
  • Fix the issue and try again
Changes don’t appear on live site:
  • Hard refresh your browser (Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R)
  • Wait 1-2 minutes for propagation
  • Verify you clicked “Publish Changes” in the dialog
Images not loading:
  • Verify images were uploaded (not just linked externally)
  • Republish to ensure assets were copied
