Publish

Put a project online, check changes first, and use your own domain.

Put It Online

Put it online

Claude publishes the project and replies with its address, like acme-launch.manifestx.ai. Projects built with something else, like React or Vite, are built and published as they are.

In a Chat session, a project can be up to 10 MB and 300 files, with each file up to 2 MB, because Claude sends the files from the session itself. A Code session publishes from the folder on your computer, with no size limit. See Chat or Code sessions.

Staging, Then Live

Every project has two addresses: staging for checking changes, and live for everyone else. Search engines skip staging, but anyone with its address can open it.

  1. Ask Claude to publish to staging, then open the staging address.
  2. When it looks right, ask Claude to take it live. The exact version you checked goes live.

If you don't say which, Claude publishes live.

Search-Ready Pages

Make my site ready for search engines

Search engines and AI assistants read little more than a page's first HTML, so a site built in the browser can look nearly empty to them. With search-ready pages on, Manifest turns each live release into finished pages that they read in full, with titles, descriptions, a sitemap and link previews. Nothing is installed on your computer, and it's free on every plan.

Claude turns it on for sites meant to be found, like a business site, blog or portfolio, and sets the site's real address so links point to it. Staging is served as built; each live release takes a few minutes to finish.

Rollbacks

Put the previous version back

Manifest keeps the last 5 versions of staging and live. On Pro, Claude can put any of them back. On any plan, you can ask for a downloaded copy of one.

Custom Domains

Connect www.example.com to my project

Claude tells you the one record to add where you bought the domain. Manifest then sets up the security certificate and renews it for you.

  • Moving a live domain? Tell Claude first, and nothing goes offline during the move.
  • Without www? Projects are served at www by default, and Claude shows you how to send example.com there.
  • To change the .manifestx.ai address, ask Claude to change my address to acme-launch. The old address stops working.

Shortcuts

In a Code session, you can type these commands instead of asking.

Command Same as asking
/manifest:preview Preview my project
/manifest:staging Publish to staging
/manifest:publish Take it live
/manifest:status What's the status of my project?

Native Apps

Projects built with the Manifest framework can also become iPhone and Android apps.

Turn this project into an iPhone and Android app

Claude sets up the app and can add features like Face ID and push notifications. You build and submit it yourself with your own developer accounts; Manifest doesn't submit apps. See Native Apps.

Badge and Showcase

Free projects show a small "Made with Manifest" badge and may be featured in Manifest's showcase. Pro removes the badge, and you can ask Claude to keep my project out of the showcase.
