How to publish your site
By default, sites have the Auto publish option enabled. As soon as you make the first edit, the site is published automatically. Also, all changes will be immediately displayed on the site. You won't lose your changes if you forget to save them or close a browser tab.
If the Auto publish option is disabled, and you want to see your edits, click the Preview button.
Auto publish and preview options and site navigation
At the top of the page there is a set of icons that allow you to preview the web, the tablet, and the mobile versions of the site.
Visual editor for mobile sites
Once you have finished editing, click Publish and your site will be immediately available online. If the Auto publish option is enabled, you don't need to publish the site.
The number of published sites depends on your Bitrix24 plan. If you downgrade your plan, you won't be able to edit any websites until you unpublish some of your sites to meet the limitation.
