Going Live

When you're satisfied with your preview, it's time to go live. This guide covers publishing to production, scheduling, and managing live campaigns.

Once published, your campaign status panel shows production URLs and management options:

• Good for testing and sharing

Custom Domains

For production use, connect your own domains:
