Wix Vibe: Previewing and Publishing Your Site

In this article

  • FAQs
Important:
Wix Vibe is no longer available for creating new sites. If you already have a site built with the Wix Vibe Editor, you can continue editing and publishing. To create your next site with AI, we recommend using the Wix Harmony Editor.
Manage your site in the Wix Vibe Editor to keep it up to date with your latest changes. You can preview and publish your site from the editor at any time, and your work is automatically saved as you go.

Previewing your site

You can preview your site without publishing it to see what it looks like to visitors. This is a great way to test how new changes and updates look before publishing them. 

To preview your site:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click Preview at the top right and select Preview current version.

  1. Browse your site preview in the new tab that opens.
  2. Go back to the Wix Vibe Editor tab to continue making changes to your site. 
Want to verify your site works perfectly?
Select  Test your site with AI from the  Preview drop-down to let the AI agent check your buttons, forms, and navigation for you

Publishing your site

You need to publish your site for the changes to be made live on the internet. You can publish changes at any time by clicking  Publish at the top right of the editor. If you want your site to appear at your own web address, you can connect to a custom domain instead of using a free Wix URL.

To publish your site:

  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click Publish at the top right of the editor.
  3. (First time only) Select an option and click Publish Site:
    • Use a free Wix domain: Publish your site at a free address provided by Wix. This option is available for all sites and does not require upgrading.
    • Use a custom domain: Publish your site on your own domain. If you upgraded your site, you can connect your own domain name. Follow the steps on your screen to connect a custom domain.
