Publish your site
Publishing on adlens is two switches, and knowing which one does what saves you from every confusing moment a launch can have.
The two switches
The first switch is coming-soon. It decides whether visitors see the site at all: while it is on, everyone who visits your address gets the holding page instead of your pages.
The second switch is the published flag. It decides whether search engines may list you: while it is off, your pages carry noindex, which tells search engines not to include them in results.
The editor's Publish control flips both in one write. That is why pressing Publish in the editor is the whole launch: one press clears the holding page and opens you to search at the same time.
Pressing Publish
In the editor, open the Publish popover. It names your site URL, so you know exactly what address to share, and it shows the custom-domain path for Pro workspaces that want the site on their own domain.
Free publishes one live site. Pro publishes any number.
What draft actually means
A draft site is still reachable at its subdomain. Draft means non-indexable, not hidden: anyone you hand the address can open it, and search engines are told to stay away. Hiding the site from visitors entirely is the coming-soon switch's job, not the draft state's.
This is useful, not a leak. It means you can send the draft address to a partner or a client for review before anything is announced.
When it does not work
You published and a visitor still sees the old page: wait a minute and reload. A fresh build can take up to a minute to reach every visitor, because the edge holds the previous document that long. That is the wait, not a failure.
The site says it is published but visitors still get the holding page: the coming-soon switch is still on. Only the editor's Publish control clears it, so open the editor and press Publish there.
Search engines are not listing the site: the published flag is off and the pages carry noindex. Press Publish in the editor to flip it, then give search engines time to recrawl.
A second site will not go live on the Free plan: Free publishes one live site. Unpublish the one that is live first, or move to Pro, which publishes any number.
