What Does "Publishing" Mean?
Publishing makes your Swyvl project viewable in the Viewer — a clean, interactive mode that hides editing tools and gives others a focused experience of the map.
When you publish:
All data added in the Builder becomes visible in the Viewer
Your basemap, branding, and styling are included
You get a shareable link that anyone can open (unless access is restricted)
Updating a Published Project
After publishing, you can continue editing your project in the Builder.
To apply any updates:
Click the Republish button
Your latest changes will be reflected in the Viewer
There’s no need to copy a new link — it stays the same unless you unpublish the project.
✅ You can republish as often as needed — there are no limits.
Password-Protecting Your Viewer
To restrict access to your published Viewer, toggle on the Password option during the publishing step
Viewers will need to enter this password to access your project
You can change or remove the password at any time by publishing again with a new setting
