Publishing Documents

Transform your Craft documents into beautiful web pages that anyone can access from any browser. Publishing makes your content publicly available while giving you complete control over access, appearance, and engagement.

​

Publishing a Document

Create a web link to make your document accessible to anyone on the internet. Your document is now live on the web and can be accessed from any browser. The default URL format is craft.me/s/abc123, but you can customize this.

​

Published Page Settings

Once a document is published, you can manage various settings to control access and appearance:

​

URL Customization

Craft Domain - Personalize your Craft domain from the default random format (e.g., brave-lion-456.craft.me) to something memorable like yourname.craft.me. Available on all plans including Starter. Custom URL Path - Define a personalized pathway for your link (e.g., /amazing-content instead of /s/abc123) Custom Domain - Connect your own domain to publish under your brand (e.g., blog.yourcompany.com). Requires Plus or higher plan.

​

Security Options

Password Protection - Require a password to access the document. Only people with the password can view the page. Email Domain Restriction - Limit access to specific email domains (e.g., only @yourcompany.com addresses) Expiration Date - Set a date when the link automatically becomes unavailable

​

Engagement Controls

Comments - Enable or disable the ability for readers to comment on the published page Advanced Options - Control visual appearance and user interaction features:

• Table of contents visibility
• Search functionality
• Print options
• Page navigation

​

Management

Remove Link - Unpublish the page to immediately make the web link unavailable. The document remains in your Craft workspace.

​

Presentation Mode

Transform your documents into engaging slide presentations directly within Craft. To activate Presentation Mode, click the play icon in the top-right corner of any published document. Your document becomes a sleek presentation ready to share.

​

Creating Slides

Use page breaks to divide your document into individual slides:

1. Navigate through your document and decide where slides should split
2. Insert page breaks at these points using the slash menu (/page break)
3. Craft supports any style of page break for flexible design

​

Presentation Best Practices

• Keep It Simple - Use bullet points and concise language
• Visual Appeal - Incorporate images, graphs, and tables
• Consistent Styling - Maintain uniform fonts, colors, and sizes

Presentation Mode is available on all platforms including Web and Windows.
