Publish your funnel and share it
Everything you change in soFunnels is a draft. When you are ready, press Publish funnel, review the list of what will change, and press Publish changes: visitors see the new version immediately. Share the funnel with its link, or on Basic and Pro, from your own subdomain such as yourname.sofunnels.com. Every publish is kept in history, so you can bring back an earlier version at any time.

Publish your funnel
- On the flow builder, press Publish funnel at the top right. After the first publish, the button reads Review & publish whenever you have unpublished changes.
- Read the list of additions, edits and removals that will go live, and check the Funnel Start URL.
- Press Preview draft to click through the new version first, if you like.
- Press Publish changes. Visitors see the new version immediately.
Good to know: the draft preview is read-only: forms, emails and payments are switched off there, so testing it never creates a fake lead or order.
What stops a publish
soFunnels refuses to publish a funnel that would leave a visitor stuck, and tells you exactly what to fix:
- A page missing its goal, such as a checkout page with no checkout or an opt-in page with no form. soFunnels offers to add it back for you.
- An External Page step with no valid link. Enter a full address starting with https://.
- A page whose only way onward is an email button. Connect it to a next page, so visitors are never left waiting for an email to continue.
It also warns you about softer problems, such as an email button that is not connected to any page.
Your funnel's address
- Free: an automatic page address on sofunnels.com, such as sofunnels.com/p/free-guide.
- Basic and Pro: your own subdomain, with clean page addresses you choose, such as yourname.sofunnels.com/free-guide.
Claim your subdomain
- Open Settings in the top bar and choose Custom Domain.
- Type the name you want: 3 to 40 lowercase letters or numbers, with single hyphens between words.
- Press Claim Address & Activate.
- Under Default Opening Page (Root URL), choose the published page people see when they visit the address on its own, and save.
From then on, your previews and share links use your subdomain automatically. Connecting a domain you already own, such as yourbusiness.com, is not available yet; it is being built and will not cost extra.
Undo, history and recovery
- Discard unpublished changes throws away your draft and returns to what is live.
- Publishing history lists every publish. Restoring a version loads it into your draft, keeping your current draft as a recovery copy, and nothing changes for visitors until you publish again.
- Deleted funnels stay in the trash for 30 days, where you can restore them.
Good to know: restoring a version changes pages and settings only. It never undoes payments, orders, contacts or emails already sent.
Visitors in the middle of your funnel
Publishing never disrupts someone who is already moving through your funnel. A visitor who opened a checkout keeps the price and terms they saw for up to four hours, even if you change them, and people waiting for a delayed email keep their timers.
Frequently asked questions
Do edits go live as soon as I save?
No. Saving keeps a draft. Visitors only see changes after you publish.
Can I take a funnel offline?
Move the funnel to the trash to take it down. You can restore it from the trash for 30 days.
Why does my free funnel show a soFunnels badge?
Free funnels carry a small "Built with soFunnels" badge. It is removed on Basic and Pro.
Can guests publish?
No. If you started building before signing up, create a free account to publish. Everything you built stays with you.
