Publish a project
Give a project its own URL, private to your team or public to anyone.
Give a project its own URL, private to your team or public to anyone.
Publishing gives a project its own address, such as https://timesheets-4.your-tailnet.ts.net, using Tailscale. It works even when OneDrop runs on a laptop.
Publishing shares the live sandbox, including changes the agent is still making. It is not a separate production build.
Click Publish at the top right of the workspace.
The status changes to Publishing… and then shows the URL with a copy button.
If OneDrop has no Tailscale auth key configured, the panel shows Approve in Tailscale. Open the link, approve the device in your Tailscale account, and publishing continues on its own. You only approve each project once.
Once published, the button says Republish. Use it to switch between Private and Public. Unpublish takes the project offline.
The Tools → Publishing section shows the same status, URL, and who published it.
Published URLs reach your app as localhost, so frameworks that block unknown hostnames (such as Vite and Next.js dev servers) work without extra configuration.
Setting up Tailscale for your server is covered in Tailscale publishing.
